Hitwise reveals Hitched as the most popular wedding website

Experian Hitwise, the leader in online competitive intelligence, has revealed that Hitched.co.uk is the most popular wedding website with 9.44% of all UK internet visits to the wedding category during October 2010. This data also shows that Hitched.co.uk is the market leader by a considerable margin, with the next nearest competitor being less than half as popular.

Robin Goad, research director for Experian Hitwise UK, reported in his blog:  “Our data shows that the most popular wedding websites in the last month were Hitched.co.uk, You & Your Wedding and UK Wedding Venues.

“By far the biggest wedding website online however is Hitched.co.uk with 9.44% of all UK internet visits to the wedding category and 7.42% of the Alpha Territory visits to the category.”

Dean Yardley, managing director of Hitched.co.uk, said:  “Since we started in 1997 we have aimed to offer the most helpful online resource for couples getting married and it is great to be recognised as the most popular wedding website by a reputable commentator on website traffic.

“As Robin Goad mentioned, the announcement of the Royal Wedding has focused attention, both with the media and the nation, on the subject of weddings and we are especially pleased to be leading the online wedding market at this exciting time.”
