July data is now live! Media sites dominate top movers
Written by Max Freiert (contact - e-mail) -- August 8th, 2008 | Share - Save - E-mailJuly data is now live on Compete.com! What sort of changes did a new month bring? We took a look at the sites that grew the most from June to July to get a better idea of where online traffic is flowing.
Whether it’s the heat of summer, gas prices trapping people at home or something else entirely, several rich media sites saw a huge jump in traffic in July. In fact, of the top 20 fastest moving sites in July, 10 sites’ primary focus is rich media content delivery.
Additional findings include:
- Looking for love in all the free places: Two of the sites making the top movers list – webdate.com and mingle2.com – both offer free online dating services with a “web 2.0″ feel.
- Apple succeeds…even when it fails: Despite “not being up to Apple’s Standards“, it’s new syncing service MobileMe (at me.com) shot up over 700% in July.
- Politics + comedy = Traffic: Jibjab.com released a satirical video highlighting the 2008 election “Time for some campaignin” in July. Traffic, and laughing visitors ensued.
- A traffic surge that no one can celebrate: One of the more concerning trends in July was FDIC.gov making the top movers list, which seems to highlight just how concerned consumers are with the state of the U.S. economy.
Find out how a new month of traffic has impacted your industry in terms of site traffic, the search space, and the overall internet landscape with all of Compete.com’s tools.

Great data… interesting to see the free dating sites rising up to the top – wonder how much of a dent that’ll put into the paid membership sites? We love to see that Media content sites are up — shows the influence of such sites.

Good to see some data
one point I am interested in is how the me.com data is correlated there seems to be a error with the me.uk domains and how that is aggregated as for example johnjones.me.uk is simply displayed as me.uk this is incorrect ! its a Top Level Domain not a subdomain…
so while me.com might be correct all the users data traffic counts as one which is ok for the me.com but not for the me.uk ! I hope this helps ?
