Average Time Spent on Popular Websites

by Anand on September 18th, 2009 Share on    

For a moment, I wondered if I should make the topic as ‘Average time wasted’, then realized there is also a Google search engine and so it cannot be strictly wasting of time. Here are the average time spent (in hr:min:ss) on the most popular websites(ranked by unique visitors) every month:

1. Google – 1:53:21
2. Yahoo – 3:14:30
3. MSN/Bing – 2:03:08
4. Facebook – 5:46:04
5. Youtube – 1:17:20
6. Microsoft – 00:44:52
7. AOL – 2:36:17
8. Fox – 2:04:42
9. Wikipedia – 00:17:05
10. Apple – 01:18:43

Some discrepancy here. Another study showed people spent most time on content websites and here Wikipedia is trotting at 17 minutes a month.

5 hours on Facebook! I am one of those users who is pushing those numbers up.. Facebook is always on one of my browser tabs
It will be interesting to look at Gmail’s number… i would think it would be high too..

PS:

One small feedback, it will be nice to have the comment section along with the post, and give the list of links below the comments. Often, people who comment would like to see the post, and it is kind of irritating to scroll all the way up.

Also, the list of links is one too many.. it would be nice to just to have the post in that category?
