Macworld UK has officially joined the ranks of the top technology Web sites in the world.
According to figures from industry experts Hitwise, Macworld.co.uk has entered the world-wide tech top 40. During July Macworld tracked 1,238,850 hits on the site, with 314,595 unique individuals reading stories.
Macworld UK has been steadily working its way up the charts this year, and the month that Apple launched the iPhone 3G was enough to shoot it to the top half of Hitwise's chart.
The Hitwise Tech Top 40 reads like a who's who of the tech industry. While it's going to be hard work to knock the number-one tech Web site, Digg.com from its perch, Macworld UK is now only five places behind its US cousin Macworld.com (number 35) and homing in on its sister title PC Advisor (number 8); the upsurge in popularity in recent months has taken Macworld UK past The Guardian Technology blog (number 47) and ZDNet UK (number 41).
Macworld UK's editor, Mark Hattersley said: "This is great news, we've been working hard over recent months providing round-the-clock coverage of Mac and iPhone-related news and new product reviews. Our live coverage of the iPhone 3G launch, ongoing MobileMe situtation and, of course, our ongoing coverage of the Apple Mac market have combined to shoot us up the chart. It's great to see a UK-based Mac site entering a world-wide chart dominated by US tech giants".
