Internet Traffic Up 25.6% During The Holiday Season
Recently, I've read three different doomsday articles that suggest the Internet is 'dead'. It's amazing that people can read and write such hogwash! I certainly knew that was nonsense, so it's nice to get confirmation from CNN Money who reports that Internet holiday traffic was up 25.6% from 2003.
The data comes on the heels of news that online retailer Amazon.com had record-breaking sales, and amid expectations that the whole sector had a healthy holiday season.
Visits to large Web retailers peaked over a range of days. In particular, traffic to Dell.com, eBay.com and Amazon.com spiked Nov. 10, Dec. 9 and Dec. 11.
On the other hand, visits to the sites of major brick-and-mortar retailers such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target tended to peak Nov. 25 - or Thanksgiving Day - as consumers used the Web to research items before heading to stores for the traditionally heavy "Black Friday" shopping day.
Gee, those people are smart. I was one of those fools who went into actual physical stores on the day after Thanksgiving!
