_____________________________________________________________________________
Notes:
1. We reviewed 255 unique sites. Data was unavailable or irrelevant for 201 sites because:
- They had been acquired.
- They were no longer available online.
- They were not covered by Compete for various reasons (including some that were not U.S. domestic companies).
- The number of unique visits was too small to be considered accurate.
- They were subdomains of larger websites.
2. Numbers have been rounded to three significant digits.
3. The charts include companies that did not have measurable traffic in May 2011, indicated by “N/A.”
4. Compete draws its information from the online activity of a panel of more than 2 million U.S. Internet users. It is only an estimate of traffic, and may undercount at-work usage.
