- MSTK, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Digg for the chart listing Neopets as one of the top ten visited sites of '01.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12is that your site *****? It sucks, now leave us alone.
- siliconbits, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Two comments : Firstly, I am pretty sure that non-English have grown even more substantially. Secondly, it is a well documented fact that Myspace is a Mega Pageview generator and this is made even more obvious by the fact that Yahoo is moving to technologies like Ajax which are detrimental to PVs. PVs are from my PoV, an obsolete metrics. Maybe we should look for something else...
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9WTF. This: " The shrinking long tail Internet theory says if you look at the percent of all pageviews that are generated each month, a much smaller portion exist on the top 10 properties today than in 2000, at the height of the first Internet era. Is it true?" is "an extended view on the article"?
***** blogspam. Welcome to my block list. - mikesherov, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6yeah, ***** pageviews! It's MySpace's poor design and navigation that lead to massive pageviews... that site is a trap due to it's poor organization.
- paulmdx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4MSN definitely gets a lot of its hits from default settings; the same goes for AOL. Google are also playing the 'default' game by changing FireFox, not to mention paying advertisers for new adopters of FireFox.
- dpetrie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Stat crap. The data provided by Compete is nothing more than a SWAG. I ran their Snapshot service that "Provides free information for every site on the Internet including site traffic history" for two sites that I run. There data was not even remotely close to the actual data I have for my sites.
Stat crap. - firefurby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm siding with siliconbits. I also don't think www.msn.com should be up there for the simple fact that it's the default web page set by Internet Explorer. Of course the mass amounts of non-computer savvy people that use the internet aren't going to bother wondering how to change their homepage.
- WiseWeasel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The long tail argument is about the products being sold being more varied, not about the number of distribution channels. If there used to be 20 sites getting the traffic, each selling only the 10 most popular products in their market, and now there are only 10 sites, but they're selling thousands of products in niche markets, then the long tail is alive and well, and distributors have adjusted to capitalize on this phenomenon. The fact that the number of distribution points has gone down does not mean that the actual product being sold there have become less varied or more mainstream. In fact, with some of these major distributors like Amazon, Ebay and Yahoo built upon providing a marketplace for small suppliers, niche products have never had a better shot at competing with the major players. This article is completely missing the point.
- adragons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Buried for inaccurate statistics. There is no way Myspace has more pageviews than yahoo or google, let alone combined.
- ryanb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wouldn't this mean the long tail is expanding, not shrinking? If there are more total sites but pageviews are going more to the top 10 sites, wouldn't that mean that there are a lot more less frequently visited sites languishing off the in long tail of the net?
- carguy84, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Marked as Spam for putting pogo.com as one of the top 10 domains.
Nice blogspam. - naveenjn, on 10/12/2007, -13/+3Here is an extended view on the article.
