Other findings in the Web Usage Trends 1998 report included: Almost a quarter of the surfers who visit commerce sites have household income over $75,000. While software is the No. 1 item purchased online, commodities like books and clothes are selling increasingly well. Men still constitute the majority of the online population at 56 percent, but the proportion of women users is growing rapidly.
