ChartAttack.com has turned 10 and after a decade, you’d look different too. The site will boast a new look beginning March 4, with content features designed to keep folks on the site as long as possible. There will be a new community function, complete with blogs and forums, says co-publisher Edward Skira. Musicians such as Danko Jones and Matt Good among others will have their own blogs on the site. An artist profile section will provide the forum for bands to own real estate within the ChartAttack.com as well.
‘There’s also going to be the readers’ photo of the week where people can post photos on the site to be ranked by readers,’ explains Skira. Winners from weekly contests will then compete in the monthly competition. Monthly winning pics will appear in Chart‘s print version. ‘All sections can be sponsored and this is perfect for a cellular or a digital camera company,’ says Skira. The new site will also boast a geo-targeting functionality. Current ChartAttack.com stats show up to 50,000 page views daily, with up to 20,000 unique visitors. Skira anticipates the revamped site will triple the traffic count because of its new features. Chart targets 15-24s, skewing female.
