The internet brings a great impact to the magazine industry no matter in the reading way or media form which also pushes magazines to setup their own websites. Through websites, magazines can provide readers 24 hours information and online service and will help to improve their brand image. We use the uses and gratifications theory to discuss the motivation and satisfaction of the content of the business magazine websites and the result shows the ¡§practicability¡¨ of the content is the key motivation for readers. The ¡§correct¡¨, ¡§immediate¡¨ and ¡§diversity¡¨ of the content of the magazine websites just fit users¡¦ expectation, however, the ¡§practicability¡¨, ¡§uniqueness¡¨, ¡§trust¡¨, ¡§easy-to-understand¡¨, ¡§profession¡¨ and ¡§In-depth¡¨ of the content still need to be improved, especially most of the magazine websites lack ¡§uniqueness.¡¨ Comparing to male users, female users are more willing to read the content which is practical, trustful, professional or has depth. The result also shows, ¤Ñ¤UÂø»xºô¯¸is the most popular business magazine website for users. Through this research we intend to show how users think of the content quality of the business magazine websites and provide useful suggestions for magazine industry.
