Top retail sites take in $100M-plus each
By Tom Diederich
The Internet's top 22 retail Web sites earned at least $100 million each last year, with at least one of them, Dell Computer Corp., taking in close to $2 billion, according to a report from ActivMedia Research Inc.
Other big earners on the list included Amazon.com, Cyberbian Outpost, Ticketmaster, Egghead.com, Gateway Inc. and Disney.com, ActivMedia said. The company added that exact revenue figures for the firms were unavailable.
ActivMedia, which tracked the Internet's top 100 electronic-commerce sites, said that on average, the top 50 sites saw revenue above $50 million last year, with the firm lowest on the list earning $12 million. The research company, in Peterborough, N.H., said the top 100 sites varied widely, covering industries including books, stocks, travel, computers, auctions and entertainment.
The report said all of the top 100 firms did one thing in common, though: "They tend to stick to their niches and often use multiple Web sites to address the needs of various markets, thereby personalizing information and selling more effectively."
