Expect the unexpected

Everyone thinks Google (www.google.com) is the no. 1 site on the Web, but the surprise, surprise of Web rankings is that Yahoo! (www.yahoo.com) is. Yahoo! has really lifted its game, and it offers a lot of good destinations, not least its comparison shopping sites which take the legwork out of consuming. MSN (www.msn.com) is no. 2, and Google a mere third. Alexa (www.alexa.com) has rankings. What else is in the top ten? eBay (www.ebay.com) is for starters. Amazon (www.amazon.com) is only 11. Blogger (www.blogger.com) is no. 30, but mySpace (www.myspace.com) is 14, way ahead of CNN (cnn.com) and the BBC (news.bbc.co.uk). People obviously value personal news and contacts over hard news. See Alexa's long, long list of who's where at http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?ts_mode=global&lang=none. Posted by belinda at December 2, 2005 09:02 AM
