Hitwise Intelligence: Times paywall: initial data and analysis

Robin Goad: "what has the impact [of the paywall] been on traffic to the Times website? ... We have aggregated traffic to both old and new Times sites in order to cut out any double counting and provide a consistent comparison and, as you can see, the title’s market share has dropped from 4.37% during the week ending May 22nd to 2.67% last week (w/e June 19th). ... since it forced users to register in order to view its content, the Times has lost market share. However, this decline has clearly not been catastrophic and none of the paper’s rivals has particularly benefitted."
