PakTribune's Audience and Traffic:

We are living in the Global village, thanks to Internet. Every service on the Internet has global coverage. However, every service should also have a target audience. PakTribune's audience is Pakistanis, wherever they are in the world, international media activists and news networks and all those interested in Pakistan's current affairs.

Launched for the first time to provide election coverage in October 2002, PakTribune got knocked over by 1.1 million hits in three days! PakTribune was the only website providing election results through an automated database structure.

The unofficial results received through the network of our 600 reporters/correspondents all over Pakistan helped us announce results every five minutes. All announcements on our website are still available for customized search and report generation facility.

Ufone, Pakistan's famous GSM provider chose us to stream the results on their network. Google News Resource and Moreover.com acknowledged PakTribune's service. In addition, we are providing news feed to several corporate websites through our news ticker.

Still, we think we have a lot to achieve and miles to go before we become #1 news resource from Pakistan on the Internet.
