So turns out that Social Networking website MySpace, )you know that real easy to navigate and real easy on the eye website) just kicked the tail of the God Of Search Google.And Yahoo, and MSN and well, every website on the web to become the number one internet website in terms of traffic.
The most popular U.S. website, according to research from Hitwise, writes the Globe and Mail (Reg. required). In the week ended July 8, 4.5 percent of all U.S. visits to the web were to MySpace.com, and traffic to the social-networking site has soared 132 percent in the last year alone, Hitwise said.
This is interesting for a number of reasons including:
1. How does a non search site be number one in popularity?
2. The portal is a mess and for the most part purposeless.
3. It proves again that the web is about fragmantation and if you are not capturing these visitors to you website, they may never come back.
The point being this ain't Television. The current state of affairs last about a couple years and game over.Meaning, you can't just say yah I have the search engine thing down, and call it a day.
I have said it before, I will say it again, the money is in your list. If you do not have an extensive list, you do not have an online business.
