So many people, so little time...

In terms of monthly unique visitors here are a sample of some game sites:

Gamespot: ~12 million per month
EA.COM ~10.5 million per month
IGN.COM ~9 million per month
MSN ZONE ~7.3 million per month
NeoPet.scom ~2.1 million
Games.com ~1 million

This is from January. In January, 110 million people in the USA went on-line.

Wow, I am shocked. I thought the numbers would be considerably higher than they are. Although, we are talking about unique visitors... not total visitors. Is this a decrease or increase from previous years?

It''s an increase from previous years. Yahoo, I believe, gets around 30 million per month.

Here''s some more:

AOL: 91 million
Google: 36 million
eBay: 29 million
Ask.com: 18 million
Amazon.com: 29 million
Yahoo: 78 million (all Yahoo sites, not just the search engine, search engine alone mentioned in previous post)


Electronic Arts, btw, is ranked at #35 by Jupiter Media Metrix but at around 400th by Alexa. Which one is the accurate one I''m not sure.

AOL: 91 MILLION!!! HA! They''ve got to be counting all of the sites they have, plus all the popup ads, plus AIM/ICQ ads, plus all the crap in their proprietary POS. I''m sure if you counted the popup ads alone it would come close to 91 mill.

There is a problem with that info though... There is a difference between Hits and Page Impressions. A Hit is made very time a single image is loaded.. like all the little smilies on this page and table border graphics and everything.. those are "Hits". A page impressions is made when an entire page is loaded and the is looked at. I personally don''t think those starts are truely relevant. So what if there are 134 graphics or whatever on their main page, each time someone goest to the page they receive 134 hits for each little picture that loads. Page Impressions, or Entire Viewings Of The Page are what matter.

Before www.k10k.net redesigned they had 3 million unique visitors each month, generating 90 million hits. Stats from www.k10k.net in my memory.

www.playmore.com (the european branding site for Xbox) launched mid feb and is at 1,347,974 unique users who made 4,624,023 hits (it''s mainly a Flash site). Stats from...errr...me (I built it).

Alexa isnt that accurate considering it only counts the users of their bar and not some other type of counting. They may be a good average though of which sites aremost popular, but if youread the fine print they will tell you that they can only get their numbers by their product's users.

Last i heard MSN got 250 million visitors a month. Which wouldmake sense since its the default homepage of Windows.
