SEEK grows reach to 60%

SEEK has further widened its lead over competing employment sites in August, according to Red Sheriff results released earlier today.
Over 60% of Australian job seekers who visited an internet employment site in August visited SEEK.
SEEK also enjoyed exceptional growth in August. The number of unique visitors attracted by SEEK grew by 8.7% from the previous month to over 742,000. This compares to growth of 1.1% for the second ranked site.
Additionally, SEEK further widened its lead in eyeball minutes which is consistently regarded the most important measure of visitation to internet employment sites. SEEK had more than 27 million eyeball minutes in August 2002 compared to just over 6 million eyeball minutes for its nearest competitor, representing a lead of 345%.
(Eyeball Minutes is equal to the number of unique visitors attracted by each site per month multiplied by the average number of minutes each visitor spends at that site during the month).


SEEK has a local UK operation via its SEEK UK site, dedicated to Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans looking to live and work in the UK. SEEK UK gives UK recruiters access to this lucrative market before they leave home and draws on its leadership position in Australia and New Zealand to ensure maximum exposure.
