Apple website visitors up


Apple's website last month received more visitors than any other computer electronics company or personal computer manufacturer, and saw a 21 percent increase in visitors over the same period last year. The Cupertino-based firm landed at no. 13 on a comScore list of the Web's top 50 properties, displaying its homepage to more than 33.7 million unique visitors. This compares to December of 2005 when Apple ranked 17th on comScore's list, displaying its home page to more than 27.5 million unique visitors. Yahoo claimed the no. 1 spot this year with nearly 130 million unique visitors, followed by Time Warner Network which received 119.6 million unique hits.

    Sorry, I confess...

    I think that was probably just me checking the status of my MBP shipment. (Did it ship yet? How about...now? Ya never know, I'd better check if it shipped out in the last five minutes. Refresh. Nope, how about now? Damn you Apple!)

    peoople buying iPods...

    It's again the same story as last year. Everyone is buying iPods. It's on everybody's mind. One has to wonder is the iPod obsession ever going to stop... If it does, let's hope it happens after the 'halo effect' has already brought over 20% of Windows people.

    My bad

    Cheesepuff. Glad you picked right up there on the serious tone of my post (unlike this post which is totally sarcastic). I wouldn't want anybody thinking I was really taking credit for Apple's surge in website visits. ;-)

    Please stop visiting Apple's site so they can get a proper read on hits. Thanks

    I realised that was sarcasm, but I was stating even if you refreshed or visited the page 100,000 times, it wouldn't matter since this statistic is not about page hits, it's about UNIQUE visits.
