MailOnline (also known as dailymail.co.uk) is the name of the website of the Daily Mail, a newspaper in the United Kingdom. It contains almost all the stories from the Daily Mail and includes a large archive of main stories. The Daily Mail's sister paper, The Mail on Sunday, has its own website.

Reach

The website reached 78,994,874 unique web browsers in October 2011, up from 66 million in March 2011), according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, putting the site ahead of guardian.co.uk and all other similar sites. That figure may also make it the UK's most popular news site, putting it ahead of the estimated 60 million unique browsers that BBC News Online receives (the BBC not being covered by the Audit Bureau of Circulations).

Globally it is the most visited newspaper website, according to ComScore, whose methodology gave the site 50.1 million unique visitors for October 2012, ahead of the previous leader, The New York Times' site, which received 48.7 million visitors in the same month.

According to comScore, in January 2011 MailOnline was the most popular online news site. MailOnline received 45.348 million unique visitors, with the New York Times second at 44.787 million.

Content

MailOnline devotes much of its content to news and entertainment in the United States; this emphasis is in contrast to the print edition of the Daily Mail, which has no presence there.

MailOnline allows users to comment on articles and moderates such comments. The house rules state that the monitors usually remove inappropriate content in full, though they do reserve the right to edit comments. The site also does not allow comments on some articles for legal reasons.

Inaccuracies

In June 2010, The Guardian reported that MailOnline had published an inaccurate story about an iPhone 4 recall, based on a Twitter message by a Steve Jobs impersonator.

In October 2011, MailOnline and several other newspapers published articles on Amanda Knox's trial, based on a possible upholding of the guilty verdict. The articles remained online until the announcememt of the reversal of the guilty verdict.

In January 2012, MailOnline, the BBC, and other news outlets were accused in an article on ComputerAndVideoGames.com of "fabricating" parts of an article saying games such as FIFA 12 are turning children into "living zombies." The website accused the Daily Mail of pursuing an "anti-gaming agenda".

In April 2012, MailOnline published an article about a dentist who extracted her ex-boyfriend's teeth; the piece was later exposed as a hoax by MSNBC.com.

Sources

In March 2012, the Poynter Institute published an article saying that MailOnline did not always attribute its stories to the sources from which they were taken. Martin Clarke, editor of MailOnline, said, "We will soon be introducing features that will allow us to link easily and prominently to other sites when further recognition of source material is needed."
