The recent traffic analysis issued on Tuesday by Internet traffic measurement corporation Hitwise MySpace has for the first time in history acceded Yahoo or any other U.S. site in the amount of visits per week. The report claims that for the week ending July 8 MySpace.com has got 4.46 percents of all U.S. visits which is more then Yahoo Mail (recently the leader of U.S. traffic) or any of the pages like Yahoo, Google, MSN Hotmail.

From the other hand, Yahoo persist that “The Yahoo network is made up of many domains and it is not accurate to compare MySpace.com to just Yahoo’s (e-mail site).” If to count traffic for top three Yahoo sites – Yahoo Mail, Yahoo.com and Yahoo Search – the numbers will be of the other value. 10 percent of the total U.S. audience a week and 129 million unique visitors per month can give odds to any other American site or portal.

Besides, Yahoo is indisputable leader from the point of view of the time spent on a site. It has 13 percent of users’ time online while MySpace’s share is only 3.2 percent.

I’m not to judge how we should count popularity, who’s point of view we should support. The facts are published so you are t o decide.
