Jupiter Media Metrix: Internet users in US spending longer online
Apr 18 2001: US Internet users are going online more often and staying
online for longer, according to new data from Jupiter Media Metrix.
US users went online on an average of 15 days in March 2001, up from 14.5
days in March 2000, and 14.2 days in March 1999. They spent an average of
20.2 hours looking at Internet sites in March 2001, up from 15.9 hours last
year and 12.8 hours the year before.
Jupiter Media Metrix also found that traffic to sports websites in the US
was up last month as intercollegiate athletics and major league baseball
attracted media attention in the US. Sites such as Mlb.com, Ncaa.org,
Sportingnews.com, and Sportsline.com all attracted major increases in
traffic.
Other sites that made it into the Media Metrix Top 50 for the first time in
March included X10.com, a discount retail store, Lowestbids.com, an auction
site, and Internetfuel.com, an Internet marketing site.
