Yep. If one is talking about a single Url, yes, then Yahoo is number one. If one is talking about Url's, then MSN is number one in traffic.

Now, if one is talking about 'searching' only, then it's completely up for grabs with Google up there as well.

These ratings for traffic, hits, uniques, visits, searches, etc, etc, kill me. :rolleyes:

If one is talking about Url's, then MSN is number one in traffic. I think for MSN's numbers, they were actually talking about all of Microsoft's properties! Not just MSN. And with Yahoo, it's their whole site, which means anytime you check Yahoo mail, or play a game at Yahoo, or check your stocks or whatever. Same thing too, I suppose at MSN.

They are pretty funny how they each put their unique spin on it!

yeah, and really now, who out there actually cares about this except maybe investers? Even then, total page views mean nothing to no one. Profit is what it's all about and what people should care about.
