MSN Money (MSFT)                         13.1 million

AOL Money (TWX)                            10.6 million

Dow Jones Online (DJ)                       8.7 million

CNNMoney                                       7.1 million

Forbes                                              6.5 million

Reuters (RTRSY)                               6.1 million

Fool.com                                          3.4 million

TheStreet.com (TSCM)                      2.9 million

BusinessWeek                                 2.3 million

USA Today Money                           1.9 million

FT.com                                           1.4 million

The ComScore numbers, a different picture:

MSN Money                                     12.1 million unique visitors

Yahoo! Finance                                 11.4 million

AOL Money                                      10.3 million

Forbes                                              5.5 million

CNNMoney                                       5.2 million

Dow Jones                                        5.2 million

Reuters                                            3.3 million

BusinessWeek                                 1.9 million

TheStreet.com                                  1.7 million

Fool.com                                         1.6 million

The ComScore numbers show a year-over-year increase for

Yahoo, and fall-offs for Dow Jones, Reuters, and BusinessWeek.
