That’s kind of strange, a video site has more traffic than a search engine?

Google knew its potential.Google fore sees every thing,so they bought Youtube.Lets not forget google “owns” youtube and also,Google.com is at #3,google has so many number of domains working in each country,so that cuts Google’s users)lik google.co.in,google.co.uk,google.ca and so on…)

I think it’s more shocking that Yahoo is number one, and not Google.

If you think about the penetration of yahoo across teh whole world then you can’t help but appreciate that yahoo is and should be number 1.

50% of everyone that uses teh internet a day uses yahoo at some point.

While hi5 maintains its strong hold in Central America, it faces tough competition in Asia from many social networking sites. Hi5.com comes in first ten ranking in Alexa.com. You can see ranking of Fortune Park Hotels Ltd in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/fortunehotels.in Alexa.
