Last week's "Week of Hate" on GamesRadar.com gave the videogame destination its best March traffic numbers ever.
GamesRadar.com's first ever "Week of Hate" had new programming every day, exploring just what ticks gamers off on every major platform, plus gamer stereotypes, why Japanese RPG's suck, game innovation flops, etc.
As expected, the contents got everybody taking sides, driving traffic to new heights.
1) Tuesday March 25th was the biggest day ever on GamesRadar (340,000 uniques & 3.2MM page views). That was the day GamesRadar.com posted "100 Reasons Fanboys Hate Playstation."
2) Year over year page view growth for the week was +57% (uniques and visits were up +33%).
3) March 08 page views will exceed March 07 by approximately 30%.
