Google lists the top 25 websites in the world
Google has given its mighty calculators a bit of a spin and released a list of the top 1,000 websites on the planet.
The rankings were calculated by Unique Visitors (users), as measured by Ad Planner, with Google modestly leaving themselves off the list (they would normally occupy the #1 slot).
Facebook rules
In their absence, the social networking site Facebook bags the top slot, followed by yahoo.com, live.com, wikipedia.org, msn.com and microsoft.com making up the top six.
Twitter can only manage a #18 slot, while Apple are even further down the list in the #27 position.
The current top 25 websites are reproduced.
Stat attack
Clicking on each link serves up loads more information about each site – for example, Facebook had an estimated 1.2bn unique users worldwide last month, and served a mind boggling 570bn page views.
And as our Cilla would say, that’s a lorra lorra pages, chuck.
