The quality of products and the reliability of this site have caught the eye of many people which made Amazon one of the mostly visited website in our countdown. Besides Amazon always want people’s reviews for their betterment. They have an option where people give their feedbacks. Amazon has many disputes and was once losing its reputation for false news. But the books here and other products here were so much different and so widely ranged that people couldn’t just leave it. Amazon is the best secured zone for books as it limits copyright by many processes. Any single user can only read the image of the books pages but not the real book when he is reading that book for the first time.
Researchers ranked Amazon as the 5th largest site of the internet which is visited mostly by users and the number is 500,000,000 averagely per month. There are many reasons apart from those stated above for which Amazon is visited by so many people. Amazon tries to serve as many people as it can.

Amazon caught the eye of investigators for its low graded working system which lowered the reputation of this site. This is the news of February, 2013.

Yahoo only went over Google in this 2013 only in USA. But it’s not that much popular in other countries and in mobile usage. But the communication service of Yahoo is also popular as it offers unlimited storage and many more other services along with this. People using Yahoo as their email accounts and Yahoo Messenger for connecting to each other praise Yahoo very much. Not only just for email or search options, Yahoo is popular for commerce, advertising and mobile services.
The huge fame of Yahoo has rarely made its users upset and that’s why it is crowded by people. In the ranking Yahoo is in the fourth place. It gets 750,000,000 average monthly visits. Yahoo’s initial name was “Jerry’s guide to the World Wide Web” which was given by its founders. But it seemed so long that in 1995 they changed the name and created Yahoo domain. The most important service that Yahoo gives is its mass storage of information. It is a reliable search engine and it has got a very trusted mailing service. So people actually prefer Yahoo for its privacy. Though there were some reports from the Time magazine that Yahoo was corrupted and its system was broken but in the end it seemed to be not relevant.

Politically it is also popular but for avoiding collision it’s not directly used in politics in many countries.
Facebook has 800,000,000 average visits per month. That’s made it the third mostly visited website. This public network began its work from the students of Harvard University to connect them with each other in 2004.
