InsuranceJournal.com continues to strengthen its position as the insurance industry’s portal of choice, as demonstrated by the 8.3 million hits the site received in the month of September.

The number of unique users rose to 44,123 (per month); page views were tracked at 336,405; and 181,323 user sessions were recorded.

InsuranceJournal.com’s latest success story is the Daily News Headlines E-Mail. Launched in March 2001, these headlines have become a staple for more than 11,000 insurance professionals, who receive the e-mail newsletters delivered to their desktop free of charge every day.

“I don’t know of any other B2B website that has more features or is more active for the insurance industry than InsuranceJournal.com,” said Mitch Dunford, IJ’s Associate Publisher/Web.

Relaunched in March 2000, InsuranceJournal.com is designed to provide the most relevant, up-to-the-minute news, analysis, resources and sales tools. The site’s traffic nationwide and internationally continues to climb every month.

“Insurance agents need the convenience of a one-stop news source,” said Mark Wells, publisher of Insurance Journal and InsuranceJournal.com. “They also need to trust that what they’re reading is comprehensive and written by people who know the insurance world. We’ve been in the insurance publishing industry for over 75 years. We know insurance.”

The most popular sections of the Insurance Journal’s two existing magazines-Insurance Journal/West and Insurance Journal/Texas-are also available online, including New Markets (listing of new insurance markets and products), Meetings & Conventions (calendar of industry-related events worldwide), and Tech Products (e-solutions, sites and high-tech products for the industry).

Directories of products and vendors have been an Insurance Journal trademark for decades. Directories for Technology, Programs, Workers’ Comp and Excess, Surplus & Specialty Markets are all available online in a searchable, keyword format.

Insurance Journal/West, the cornerstone of Wells Publishing, was first launched in 1923. In 1995, Insurance Journal/Texas was created. The two magazines boast a readership exceeding 17,000.
