SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- POPSUGAR announced today that it attracted a record 25.5 million total unique visitors/viewers in September 2014. This represents an all-time high for POPSUGAR, a global media and technology company at the intersection of content and commerce.

In addition, POPSUGAR now ranks within the top 10 among all female-focused publishers in comScore's lifestyles category, further establishing POPSUGAR as the largest independent publisher of women's lifestyle content. Over the past year, the overall number of multiplatform unique visitors to POPSUGAR has grown by 45 percent. Another indication of POPSUGAR's continued popularity has been the rapid rise of its mobile unique visitors, which have increased 121 percent year over year.  POPSUGAR's strategy to focus on growing its owned and operated properties, as opposed to aggregating 3^rd party sites, is fueling the growth.

Contributing to POPSUGAR's record viewership is its unique combination of entertainment, living, parenting and style content as well as its expertise in delivering content across platforms.
