The top 10 news sites in Australia

It was a good news day for news.com.au yesterday, with the Nielsen Online Rankings for May confirming it is holding on to the number one news site spot.

Despite news.com.au, smh.com.au and ABC News Websites recording declines in numbers, they were all sitting pretty at the top with an audience of 3.791 million, 3.437 million, and 2.855 million respectively.

Daily Mail Australia claimed fourth place, followed by ninemsn News Websites and The Age. Also holding onto top 10 positions were The Guardian, BBC, Yahoo!7 News Websites, and the Herald Sun. The addition of BBC into the top 10 bumped The Daily Telegraph out of the top 10.
