Online hangout MySpace.com has overtaken Yahoo Inc’s e-mail gateway as the single most-visited US website, although Yahoo’s network of sites retains a broader audience, according to a report.
According to Internet traffic measurement firm Hitwise, News Corp’s MySpace.com accounted for 4.46 per cent of all US Internet visits for the week ending on July 8, pushing it past Yahoo Mail for the first time and outpacing the home pages for Yahoo, Google and Microsoft’s MSN Hotmail.
However, Yahoo’s top three destinations — Yahoo Mail, the Yahoo.com home page and Yahoo search — collectively attracted more than 10 per cent of the total US audience, according to Hitwise data.
MySpace’s home page and e-mail site only amounted to 7.3 per cent of US Web visits, according to Hitwise’s list of top 10 US Internet properties for the first full week of July.
In the United States, Yahoo said it attracts 129 million unique visitors per month, which represents 74 per cent of the online population in the world’s biggest Internet market.
