Apple.com 14th most visited site in US
MacNN found a survey from comScore Media Metrix for the month of August which ranked apple.com as the 14th most visited site in the U.S. with 31.5 million unique visitors. On the top of the list is Yahoo! with more than 131.3 million visitors, while Dell surprisingly leapt from 47 to 35, though MacNN notes that is largely due to the battery recall. YouTube, surprisingly, rose to the #32 spot with 19.1 million visitors in August - I always figured they were closing in on MySpace somewhere near the top of the hill.MacNN has more details of other properties and observations made from the survey, so take a gander if you have an interest in web and marketing trends.

I wonder what the count would be for Microsoft if they didnt include the tech support pages. lol!! :P
or if they didn't count all the people going to Apple's download pages for the latest copy of itunes? Or the fact that Apple's browsers, by default go to apple.com or IE defaulting to MSN, or a lot of people who just have the browsers default to some web page they might not view (mine's set to yahoo, though rarely is that where I want to go when I open the browser).

Why would MacNN attribute Dell's number to the battery recall and not Apple's? Didn't they have a battery recall as well? I guess since there are not as many Apple notebooks as there are Dell's the hit's would be a smaller pecentage.

Another measure of success is Alexa. Alexa is a PC ONLY toolbar. According to Alexa Apple is the 25th most visited website over the past 3 months:

This is a survey of "several million" Alexa users.

"Why would MacNN attribute Dell's number to the battery recall and not Apple's?"
I suspect that Dell's extremee jump in the rating is the reason for the acknowledgement. Did Apple jump 12 places too?
