nearly eight million unique visitors, Monster was clearly the leading career
resources site in Europe in September, attracting more than double the number
of visitors of its nearest competitor. Online career resources were a
particularly popular destination for European Internet users in September,
mirroring an increase in traffic we traditionally see going into the fall
season."
