Google has released an exhaustive list of the 1,000 most visited sites on the Web. Facebook, Yahoo!, Live, Wikipedia and MSN made up the top five, pulling in over 1.99 trillion unique visitors every month. With the list, Google is giving advertisers the option to cherrypick where they want their ads in order to improve placement for their products or services. What’s fascinating, though, is the traffic breakdown by scale and type. A brief glance reveals Facebook’s dominance over the Web’s attention with over 570 billion monthly page views. (Web powerhouses Google and YouTube are both excluded.) Social networks, portals, online apps, e-mail and search reign over the first 100 spots.
Search Engine Land reports that Google used data that was taken from its Ad Planner tool and aggregated from millions of users (who opted-in), content publishers and its own Google Analytics service. Google will continue updating the list monthly as traffic changes. [From: Google and Search Engine Land]
