The climb in the figures, sparked by the election, was given further impetus by an advertising campaign promoting CNNArabic.com as the website of record and stressing the regional implications of the election.
At the beginning of this month there were 125,604 hits on the site. The following day there were 221,717 and the day after the big jump to 340,265. Claudia Coles, Head of Marketing for CNN Europe, Middle East and Africa, said, "This is the first time this year that we have seen this level of hits for the daily news.
"The US presidential elections are of crucial importance across the globe. The feedback from the Middle East and North Africa demonstrates the widespread interest in this event."
