Record numbers of readers flock to The Register

Have a celebratory pint.

el Reg units?

"de facto standard for measuring website size" no, no, no, this won't do.

I propose a new web traffic measure, the "Reg", equivalent to 6.6 million unique views.

The Register traffic for the month of November 2011 was therefore 1000 milliRegs

Is there a break down..

where by you see who used what, such as browser types, device OS's such as MS, Android, iOS etc etc

However congrats on the figures, still read el reg off my google flavoured device whilst laying cable each morning, i have been reading for about 7-8 years, so thats alot of cable...! I even read off my PC in the afternoon as well, no other publication can boast this kind of readership from me...

Well done gentlefolk

I know I was reading El Reg in 1998 .... have no idea when you persuaded me to sign up (I could check my profile I guess, but CBA).

Anyway, congratulations on (in the main) keeping me informed, and entertained, in a uniquely British way.

And yet.....

I still miss the Moderatrix and hope she's in form control, wherever......

congrats and have a pint!

So, for the sake of comparison...

... how well is The Inquirer doing?

About that infamous MS ad: first time I heard of it is here, and now. I do have JS turned off at all time; these days, I don't see any ad but the text ones. I suspect I might be stealing -part of- El Reg's lunch by doing so; serves you well for relying on JS.

6.6 million readers

That's...really impressive. I'd like to put in my loud "hell yes" on the topic. I am glad my favourite technology magazine is doing so well. I maintain that El Reg is the best on the net for current events in IT; I don't think I could do my job without it! (Gotta know what the current and upcoming tech consists of!)

Cheers to El Reg and all of her staff. May the readership continue to grow year on year unto the end of time.

Well thats cool

Id rather read El Reg than most other tech sites because of the larger focus here on enterprise and development. Actually its about the only one that doesn't drive me crazy with the exception of Wired's Danger Room, though Spencer Ackerman grates on my nerves alot of the time.

And November was about the time I started being a commentard here. <sarcasm>So Im completely sure its my magnetic, non-abrasive personality driving up the scores</sarcasm>

Bofh hooked me up

at a time when he was still terrorrising the campus.

That´s how i found You,dear El Reg and i never lever left You for a day since.

Setting up internet connections via HF Radio on tea estates in east-africa You where my reference test site.

(New Bofh out yet?). I´m shocked,you are worshipped by only less than 140.000 germans.

I´m gonna work on that.

Keep it up

Have a german Lager

I hate to break it to you folks...

...however, the readership stats have nothing to do with the quality of the articles on El Reg.

Rather, it is the increasing level of sophistication of the puns in the comments that is attracting your audience.

If you don't understand what I'm talking about, then get thee to a punnery!
