GRV Media is delighted to announce that four of its football websites hit all-time visitor and page view highs in January. Several other websites ended last month in a very strong position.

General football website TBR saw more than 2.5m visitors through the site in January, consuming over 10m page views. And three other specialist websites: The Chelsea Chronicle (Chelsea), Rousing The Kop (Liverpool) and Leeds United News (Leeds United) saw a combined 2.8m visitors, consuming an additional 11m page views.

John Verrall, who runs TBR, RTK and TCC, said: ‘We all worked extremely hard and smart during the January transfer window. I am very proud of the excellent team spirit we have developed, and what we all achieved last month. It bodes very well for the future’.

Dan Coombs, GRV Media’s Head of Sports Content, said: ‘We saw record engagement from social media on a number of our sports websites last month, and are all pulling together to work through a fit-for-purpose SEO strategy with the new team. There’s lots more good stuff to come’.

Ed Watkinson joined GRV in December from LADbible as Director, SEO & Digital Growth, and Kieran Doody joins later this month as Head of Editorial SEO from Newsquest.
