How much does internet top sites earn

Dec 31, 2011 by admin

Well, all of a sudden I just got an idea to search about income of internet top sites like Google, Yahoo, Facebook etc. And after spending an hour or so searching on Google, here is what I have got.

We all know that Google is the top most visited site on the web and no one is prepared well enough to push Google aside. Than it obvious makes sense to say that Google is the top earner site in this list. It is estimated that Google has more than  900 million regular users. With this huge user base google earns nearly $655 per second. Can you believe that?? Google earns most of its revenue from advertising to be precise about 97%.

Facebook is second on the list of most visited site on the web. It is estimated that it has about 700 million monthly users. Even though Facebook is second on the most visited site, its revenue is far more less than Google. Facebook earns about $26 every second. The main revenue source for Facebook is via advertising.

Yahoo is third on the list of most visited sites on the web. Yahoo has about 500 million monthly users. Yahoo earns about $180 per second. Yahoo is well known for its services like News, Mail, Maps and movies. Like others, yahoo also earns through advertising.

YouTube is the fourth most visited site on the web. YouTube has about 450 million regular monthly users. YouTube earns about $13 per second. YouTube is a free video uploading site and is used to freely share your videos. YouTube also makes its money from advertising.

Next on the list is Amazon which doesn’t have a huge user base but it manages to earn more than all other sites mentioned above. Amazon earns about $680 per second. Amazon has an user base of about 325 million monthly regular users. Amazon is well known for selling books and other items.

Let us know in the comments if you belong to one of the regular users of these sites. For me, I am a regular user of Google, Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube.
