Urbanette.com Traffic Numbers
Urbanette.com gets between 200,000 and 600,000 unique visitors per month and from half a million to over 1 million pageviews per month. The typical number of views per Urbanette.com article ranges from 120,000 to 410,000 in the first two months.
Please note that Urbanette has very high per-article readership numbers compared to the overall website traffic. This is because we publish an article only once per week, and social posts three times per week (see more about our posting schedule here). So each article gets a lot of views, but the website overall gets much less than if we were posting many articles per day and spreading the views out over more articles.
All articles are also shared with hundreds of thousands of followers on our social media (please click for current follower count: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Pinterest).

And real-time (screenshots from Google Analytics mobile app. Note that the country column varies greatly based on the time-of-day in that time zone as well as public holidays):
We also often syndicate on other top publications websites, such as Lonely Planet, Huff Post, etc.

LEGITIMATE URBANETTE REQUESTS (OF ANY KIND)
ONLY COME FROM AN @URBANETTE.COM EMAIL ADDRESS.
We’ve all heard the statistics about what makes PR an invaluable tool: 3% of people (the true ‘influencers‘, like #HilaryRowland) generate 90% of the impact online. Editorial media placements drive 3x more purchases than advertising alone; a typical blog mention takes that number up to 9x *. Urbanette article mentions typically perform 450% better than the ‘average’ blog post (which is already 9x more effective than advertising) at driving sales, due to the fact that our content is trusted, targeted and compelling.
If you have a product that you are promoting, please contact us about a review at editor@urbanette.com with the subject “Product Review”.
Wondering what we’ll write if we don’t like your hotel or product?
We do not publish negative reviews — those wouldn’t benefit our readers, nor would they benefit any party. If there are issues with your product or establishment, we will tell you and ask for your word that you will have them fixed. Your word is good enough for us, and we won’t include those elements in the article. If there are really big, unfixable issues, we’ll decline the article and write you a valuable, confidential report (Hilary also runs Pearls & Pocket Squares – a luxury resort mystery inspection service) with many useful, actionable tips, so that you can dramatically improve your establishment or product.
If we have published a review of your product, hotel or brand, and you would like a large cover photo for your press page, or a hard-copy of the magazine, we’d be happy to send that to you please contact us.
Travel PR: Hilary does consider media trips (with her husband who is also a travel writer and photographer, all expenses paid, with an itinerary) as long as the focus falls into one of these categories: luxury (5-star everything), eco (farm to table, eco-friendly boutique hotel, etc.) or novelty/bucket-list (very unusual/notable). Here’s an example of an article that resulted from a media trip.
On average, the results from a 4-night Urbanette media hotel stay are: 43 bookings within the first 6 months, and 72 bookings within the first year, all directly citing Urbanette as the source. Additional bookings may have been made as a partial or unattributed result of Urbanette’s post(s). On average, 67% of those bookings were premium suites.
