Key observations:
- In October, there were exactly 20 domains with over 20 million unique visitors. This is it. The elite of the elite!
- There is a gap of *33 million* unique visitors between #3 AOL and #4 MSN.
- Name a website that gets between 80-100 million unique visitors a month? Trick question. There are none! The top 3 domains – Yahoo, Google and AOL – are truly in a class of their own. There were NO domains with unique visitor traffic between 80-100 million (see chart below).
- Who is new on this list? (compared to Oct ’05):
- Who is absent? (compared to Oct ’05):
Interesting note: Even though Paypal.com and Weather.com fell out of the top-20, unique visitor traffic to those domains is actually up.
