Welcome the Web Crowd
Perhaps ’stampede’ will be the right word to describe the visits on some top Web properties. Wanna know why? Picture this: Last month, Google attracted a unique audience of over 119,674,000 and Yahoo was a close second with 114,551,000 in the list of top 10 U.S. Web brands ranked by unique audience for March 2008. The list is released by researcher, Nielsen Online.
Others in the list include: Microsoft: 99,672,000, MSN/Windows Live: 96,993,000, AOL Media Network: 90,644,000, YouTube: 71,273,000, Fox Interactive Media: 70,389,000, eBay: 57,220,000, Wikipedia: 54,301,000, Apple: 47,516,000.
According to Nielsen Online, unique audience includes anyone who visited the site at least once during the month, and anyone who visited the site more than once was not counted again.
In terms of average time spent per person, AOL Media Network retained each visitor for almost 4 hours to win the top slot, while Wikipedia with about 18 minutes is at the bottom of the top 10 list.
