Studies

I analyzed the Top 1.000 newspapers in the US because believe or not, I’ve searched for a newspaper study, but I cannot find a professional one.

Something weird.

So, I started the study with +1.500 newspaper list I extracted from Wikipedia. I listed them on an Excel file.

Then, I defined 11 KPIs for SEO and Social Media like Ahref Rank, estimated traffic or follower number on Twitter, etc.

And then, I spent about 200 hours analyzing all of them.

Here, I reveal all the interesting insights I’ve found.

Enjoy.

Conclusion

Here is a summary of the 7 top key findings:

The first thing I realized is the Top 10 newspapers on this study are on the Top 10 for almost every KPI, with only 8 of 110 points out of the Top10 graph. I want to think this is for the strong correlation between the different KPIs selected.
If I print a graph for Top100 newspapers KPIs, it seems a line! Of course, the more you go along the line, the more variability you got, specially with YouTube and Instagram KPIs.
The average Domain Authority is surprisingly high, the figures: Average Ahref Rank is 64, Average MozRank is 62 for the Top 1.000 newspapers in the US, so they are relevant.
Very few get more of 1 million in something for example, only 57 of 1.000 got +1M estimated traffic per month, or only 17 of 1.000 have 1 million Facebook Fans.
Almost everyone has a Facebook page (99%) and Twitter (98%), but not everyone has an Instagram (61%) or YouTube (62%) account. Spoiler: The Top 10 have it all.
Beyond Top 300, standard deviation just go crazy, but I think is not a problem, because Top 300 statistics values are solid and strong, so it’s really a thing.
If I print Top 1.000 overall score in a graph, the correlation is semiquantitative (R²=0,9966) and, for me, this are exciting news because it seems this study has a solid base.

Overall Top 10 are (almost) always on Top 10 by KPIs

Look at this graph:

If the points are below 990 it’s out of Top10 on this KPI.

This only happens 8 times on this graph: 5 for Chicago Tribune, 2 for The Daily Beast, and 1 for Politico, and mostly on Social Media KPIs.

And yes, The New York Times performs best for every KPI. Astonishing.

The trend is: The more we get down in Top 10, the more variability we have, and this is going to repeat along all the study.

Overall Top 100 variability stays cool!

What about if I print the same graph but with the Top 100?

This is how it looks:

Yes, it’s not as clear as the previous one, but it seems like a line, with exceptions.

These exceptions are more and more frequent as we go down in the graph, and if we focus on Social Media KPIs, especially with YouTube and Instagram ones, so it seems it’s a strong correlation between the different KPIs and the overall relevance of Top 100 newspapers.

Domain Relevance is high. Really high.

Domain Rank (DR) for Ahrefs, or Domain Authority (DA) for MozRank are just two objective measures for domain relevance.

If one domain has DA or DR near 0, its just penalized and, if its 100, you’re Facebook or Google.

Well, these are the figures for Top 1.000 Ahrefs DR:

The average is DR 64 and DA 62 (very consistent again), but mode (the figures with more repetitions) it’s between 71 and 80.

I can tell you this figure for DR is high. A lot.

Doing 1 million is as hard as in life

Doing one million is hard, for the newspaper too!

Look at this graph:

Only a few can make more than one million.

57 can do it on total traffic, 17 on Facebook likes, 13 in Twitter and only 5 on Instagram and 3 on YouTube.

Everyone is on Facebook and Twitter, but not on Instagram and YouTube

Yes, I know Instagram is a must since some years, but it seems is not for nearly 400 newspapers, look at this:

You can say every newspaper in the US has Facebook Page and Twitter account, but it’s not the same for Instagram and YouTube.

Only 60.80% of the Top 1.000 US newspaper has an Instagram account, and only 61.60% has a YouTube account.

Beyond 300 it comes the chaos

I’m not showing the total graph with all the KPIs because it’s like chaos, but I can tell you it stays kind of bit from Top 1 to Top 300 but, from there to Top 1.000, it’s just chaos.

I think it’s ok because have some causality on the first 300 points it’s a thing.

Top 1.000 overall score is semiquantitative (in other words: it works!)

Here is the graph only for the overall score of all the domains I’ve studied:

If R² is 0.995 or above you can say the function is semiquantitative, so it fits fine to a straight line, and this is 0.9966, so its fits.

You have a little more variability on the top when the distribution is slightly above the adjust line, and in the middle, slightly below the line.

I’m happy with that result.

Only a little bit about the methodology

Yes, I know talking about methodology on a study is not the sexiest part at all, so I’m going to keep it as simple as I can.

Starting with the KPIs I chose

KPIs are key for every study. I chose a total of 11 KPIs following these thoughts:

The KPIs must be solid, strong, measurable, relevant for an online newspaper and… public.

So, I divided them into two different blocks: SEO and Social Media KPIs.

SEO KPIs:

Total estimated traffic measured with Ahrefs: because it’s the most relevant KPI for a newspaper or an online project in general.
Total estimated traffic in the US, measured with Ahrefs: because I’m from Spain (Europe), and I know you got a lot of relevance outside the US.
Ahref Rank for the domain: because it’s a general qualitative KPI for the total relevance of the domain.
Moz Rank for the domain: because I need another different measure for general relevance, so I can compare both.
How many domains link to the newspaper, measured with Ahrefs: because SEO off-page and link building are a strong signal of relevance.
Branded Traffic, measured with Ahrefs: because if someone type your brand name on Google, here you got a loyal customer.
Non-branded traffic measured with Ahrefs: because it’s important to know how the newspaper perform on Google for generic searches.

Social Media KPIs:

Total number of Facebook Likes: because it’s the first Social Media Network on earth.
Total number of Twitter followers: because Twitter is like the biggest communication agency on earth, and newspapers live for and because news.
Total number of Instagram followers: because it’s the hottest Social Media Network right now.
Number of YouTube subscribers: because YouTube it’s the second search engine on earth.

To be honest: I wanted to do more with Social Media KPIs, but I tried to talk with Buzzsumo, and I didn’t have any feedback from them.

Trust me I don’t blame them, I have a medium blog in Spain, and this is my first post in English, but maybe for the next study I can make the most with engagement KPIs.

How I've made the math

I tried to keep it the easier, the better:

For each KPI, I’ve listed Top 1.000 newspapers on an Excel file, from the Top 1 to the Top 1.000.

The first one gets 1.000 points, the second, 999 and, the last one, just 1.

For example:

The New York Times is Top 1 for estimated total traffic (76 million/month), so they get 1.000 points.

The Washington Post is Top 2 for estimated total traffic (38.6 million/month), so they get 999.

And so on.

Sergio Ramírez

The same for the other KPIs.

But what happen if a newspaper doesn’t have an Instagram account? Easy: 0 points for them.

One I have all the score for every KPI, I just sum them up, and I have the overall score.

Easy, isn’t it?

Top 10 newspapers in the US: All the insights, all the graphs

I know you want to know which ones are the most influential newspapers in the US, so I want to focus on the Top 10 for each KPI, so you can see the insights only for the bests:

These are Top 10 newspaper in the US by overall scoring

The first thing I want to show you is the overall scoring for the Top 10 newspapers, so here you have it:

Yes, The New York Time is the best for every KPI, so they have 11.000 points.

Between Huffpost and The Wall Street Journal it’s only 1 point, and all the graph seems very lineal until the last 3.

Top 10 newspaper in the US by Total Traffic (estimated)

Moving to each KPI, the first for me it’s the total traffic, here is the graph for this:

If you compare this graph with the previous, you can see the Top 10 in overall are just the same comparing estimated total traffic, but in different order.

So, the big ones remain big.

Top 10 newspapers in the US by Organic Traffic in US (estimated)

Ok, let’s do something:

Just remove all the non-US estimated traffic to the graph and let’s see:

Ok, the graph just stays the same.

If I investigate the real figures, without points, I can see, on average, only 10% of the total traffic for this Top 10 newspapers is outside the US, so:

Top 10 newspapers in the US by Ahrefs DR and MozBar DA

I’m going to show you the graph for DR and DA in the same one, because both measures are for a general relevance of the domain:

As you can see, both measures are consistent, and we only have a few points “outside Top 10”.

The one with more variability is The Daily Beast, but I can tell you it’s only 3 points between DR (89) and DA (92).

Top 10 newspapers in the US by Domains who links them

As I told you before, link building is king for the relevance of a website for the last 10 years, and it remains.

Here is the graph for the Top 10 by the number of domains pointing to them:

Only The Daily Beast and Politico are outside Top10 (Politico is Top 11). The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times is performing a little bit higher than usual.

Top 10 newspaper in US the by branded/non-branded traffic

Branded traffic is when someone just googles your brand name or types your domain on the browser.

On the other hand, non-branded traffic are just the generic searches on Google, it measures how you perform on the search engines.

On the next graph, I’m going to compare branded and non-branded traffic.

As you can see, the figures for branded and non-branded stays similar, just Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune Non-branded traffic is outperforming Branded one.

Top 10 newspapers by Social Media KPIs

Finally, here is the graph for the Social Media KPIs:

Here, you only have some points outside the Top 10 with Politico and Chicago Tribune.

Huffpost is performing awesome in Facebook Likes, as well Twitter as and Instagram from Politico.

Top 100 Newspapers in the US

Well, I know Top 10 in a country with 327 million people is not enough, so here you got the Top 100 list:

Don’t worry about the name of the newspapers, you got the entire Top 1.000 list just at the end of this post.

As you can see, it seems to a straight line again, and it’s a little bit variability just at the end of the Top100.

Top 1.000 newspapers in the US: The complete list

Yes, I know setting up a table with 1.000 rows and 12 columns is not the best practice for a mobile, or even a PC, but I want you to have all the data, so here is it:

More things you should know about the study

I want to tell you a couple of things about this study:

When I did this study?

All the data was collected between October and December 2019.

Then, the analysis and writing were done on January and February 2020.

This figures are dynamic

Yes, all this KPIs are dynamic, and the figure of Facebook Likes or Domain Rank is moving constantly, but this KPI are solid enough and has a strong inertia, so I think this study should be 100% valid for all 2020, and maybe for 2021.

Conclusion

Best newspaper in the US are solid on their KPIs and the top 10 is:

1. The New York Times.
2. The Washington Post.
3. USA Today.
4. Huffpost.
5. The Wall Street Journal.
6. New York Post.
7. Los Angeles Times.
8. The Daily Beast.
9. Politico.
10 Chicago Tribune.

Please, leave me a comment if you think I missed any newspaper (I think I’ll repeat this study on 2021) and for letting me know what you think about this study, I will personally answer every comment.

I DO love more Online Marketing than cookies. I mean it.

I analyzed Top 1000 newspapers in US. This is what I learned

Here is a summary of the 7 top key findings:

Overall Top 10 are (almost) always on Top 10 by KPIs

Overall Top 100 variability stays cool!

Domain Relevance is high. Really high.

Doing 1 million is as hard as in life

Everyone is on Facebook and Twitter, but not on Instagram and YouTube

Beyond 300 it comes the chaos

Top 1.000 overall score is semiquantitative (in other words: it works!)

Only a little bit about the methodology

Starting with the KPIs I chose

How I've made the math
