YouTube site leads in attendance
According to statistics from analytical company Alexa, YouTube video service outpaced the popularity of the social network MySpace. But recently it was recognized as the most visited site on the American Internet.
Here is a graph with comparative statistics on YouTube and MySpace traffic over the past six months, according to Alexa. As you can see, YouTube video service overtook its “competitor” around the beginning of July 2006. Although in the three-month Alexa ranking, the most visited MySpace sites are in third place, and YouTube is in the tenth place. But the latter quickly rises, one after the other ahead of competitors.
In this case, be sure to make a reservation that Alexa statistics does not claim to be objective at all. It is going by tracking the surfing of users who voluntarily agreed to install a special browser plugin. This is by definition the most advanced part of Internet users, but by no means a representative sample.
However, any statistics is subjective. For example, recently the statistical service Hitwise has published site traffic statistics for the first week of July (July2-8 ). It turned out that the first place in popularity among American users for the first time in its history came MySpace. He received 4.46% of all US traffic. This is more than the Yahoo! mail service (4.42%), the main Yahoo portal (4.25%) and the Google site (3.89%).

Alexa gives several other numbers. According to her, YouTube receives approximately 3.9% of all visits, and MySpace - 3.35%.
It is difficult to say which statistics more accurately reflects reality, but the fact remains that the YouTube audience is growing at a phenomenal rate. In the past six months alone, it has increased fourfold and continues to grow rapidly. YouTube servers generate more than 100 million video streams per day . 17 months after its founding, YouTube has already controlled 60% of all video broadcasts in the US segment of the Network. The expert valuation of the company's value rose to a billion dollars, although the firm is still unprofitable.
