XCIT is # four not bad. Reuters NEW YORK (March 10) - Yahoo! Inc.'s Internet site was the most popular single Web location again in February, with special events like the Olympics spurring more people to surf the Web, an industry report said Monday. More than 31.2 million ''unique'' users traveled last month to yahoo.com, where they accessed Yahoo!'s search engine, news, personal e-mail and other products, according to a report by Internet research firm RelevantKnowledge Inc. The company, in its report, ''Top 25 Dot.com Domains,'' said it counts ''unique visitors,'' or individuals who may travel to a site, or ''hit'' it, rather than the aggregate hits, so as to more accurately measure Internet traffic. Sites operated by software companies Netscape Communications Corp. and Microsoft Corp. were the second and third most trafficked, the study said, with 23.1 million and 17.9 million unique visitors, respectively. The company said that about 55.4 million people in the United States used the Web in February, with many drawn to information about the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. News sites enjoyed increased visitations due to the Clinton scandal, while sites related to Valentine's Day also saw a rise in traffic. Yahoo!, Netscape and Microsoft, in that order, were also the top-ranked sites in November, December and January, RelevantKnowledge said. Yahoo!'s system of sites, which includes multiple domains that fall under the Yahoo! brand on the Internet, was also the most popular in February, the study said.
