Here's an interesting press release that touts another company's entre into a MediaMetrix Top 10. siliconinvestor.com
This list is, according to the PR, a new weekly list compiled by MediaMetrix that combines work- and home-based visitors, which is the same criteria used for the monthly list on which GNET climbed into the Top 10 in July. The weekly list reflects the average daily visitors, whereas the monthly list counts total unique visitors. GNET doesn't appear on this list compiled for the weeks ending August 16 and 22.
Rank Destination Avg. Daily Unique Avg. Daily Unique Visitors Visitors (000s)- Week (000s)- Week ending Aug. 22 ending Aug. 15 1 Yahoo Sites (Nasdaq: YHOO) 7,779 7,737 2 AOL Web sites (Nasdaq: AOL) 7,715 7,608 3 Microsoft Sites (Nasdaq: MSFT) 7,186 7,066 4 Lycos (Nasdaq: LCOS) 2,612 2,570 5 Go Network (Nasdaq: SEEK) 2,170 2,417 6 Excite Network (Nasdaq: ATHM) 2,024 2,015 7 LookSmart (Nasdaq: LOOK) 1,503 1,429 8 Realsite Portfolio (Nasdaq: RNWK) 1,442 1,571 9 Time Warner Online (NYSE: TWX) 1,359 1,519 10 eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) 1,359 1,296
