And the 'Most-Visited Website' Award Goes To...

A recent survey, conducted by the portal Compete.com, has revealed a list of the 'Top 50 Websites' on the basis of their unique visitor numbers. The top ten domain names in this list are:

1. Yahoo.com
2. Google.com
3. eBay.com
4. MSN.com
5. Live.com
6. MySpace.com
7. AOL.com
8. Wikipedia.org
9. Mapquest.com
10. Microsoft.com
    

The survey took into account the period between September 2006 to September 2007 to calculate the visitor count of these sites. YouTube and Flickr are amongst the topmost gainers, as per the survey.

It has also been observed that sites offering peer-to-peer data sharing are gaining prominence in the lives of web users, as evidenced by the rise of YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, Digg, et al.

An increasing number of sites are raking in traffic in millions, and are constantly expanding their network by adding new features to existing domains, or creating new domains altogether.
