The Times Co.'s internal numbers were significantly higher than those of Nielsen//NetRatings, which registered slightly more than 13.8 million unique visitors in January. The company attributed its online growth to the re-launch of four major sections on NYTimes.com--travel, theater, personal technology, and real estate. Real estate and travel saw particular growth, with 156 percent and 140 percent year-over-year increases in page views, respectively.
