Nick Denton’s Gawker Media reports a traffic growth rate of more than 100%, based on a comparison of traffic from December 2005 with that of December 2006.

Gawker Media’s a private company, and we don’t give out financial results, but we’ve always been transparent about traffic. So here’s the annual report. According to Comscore, US monthly uniques for Gawker sites combined went from 1.6m in December 2005 to 3.7m visitors in December 2006. Traffic, tracked by Sitemeter, not including content viewed within RSS readers, went from 40.4m pageviews in December 2005 to 90.6m last month. Shown: pageviews by site. The chart doesn’t include sites started during the year, Valleywag and Idolator, nor those closed down, Sploid and Screenhead.

Based on the chart (and our visual guesstimates), Gizmodo leads in terms of raw traffic. However, Kotaku has the largest growth rate. Nick posts screencaps with numeric indicators, as well as a traffic growth graph from since 2002.

60 million monthly page views for 11 sites is not bad! Now we wonder how much Gawker earns from this.
