Third-quarter 2011 revenue up 4.3% to €6.4 million
LeGuide.com's third-quarter 2011 revenue increased by 4.3% to €6.4 million. This revenue includes the impact of the first six weeks after Google's algorithm change, which was rolled out for continental Europe in mid-August 2011.
For the first nine months of the year, revenue amounted to €20.4 million, representing wholly organic growth of 6.5% on the same period in 2010.
In August 2011, LeGuide.com’s unique visitors totalled 13.6 million in Europe, up 17%
year-on-year. This growth notably reflects the group's French audience holding up well thanks to LeGuide.com's brand recognition and a strategy of diversifying sources of traffic.
The number of e-merchants also continued to grow, reaching 74,000 at the end of September—an increase of 16% year-on-year.
