Lost Remote has a nice bit on CNN.com and its performance in June.

Nielsen Online recently named CNN.com the Internet’s No. 1 news gateway, with the site’s home page generating 60 percent more unique visitors than those of its competitors. During the month of June, CNN also experienced record-setting traffic to iReport.com, the network’s uncensored, unfiltered, unedited, user-generated community Web site; and CNNMoney.com, CNN’s exclusive business site, generated an 1800 percent increase in video streams served versus last June.

You can read the entire press release in the Lost Remote article but it covers CNN.com, CNNMoney.com, iReport.com and CNN Mobile.  All of these help comprise the CNN Digital Network, which is always in the top few news sites, competing with MSNBC and Yahoo.

Also a few days ago Lost Remote wrote a piece on the effect CNN.com can have on traffic as they have begun linking to external sites.  They compare a link on the CNN.com homepage as similar to the Digg effect on tech stories, where a mention gets you a ton of traffic and exposure in general.
