Charts: Apple, Amazon lead traffic growth, but eBay still holiday king
Apple, Amazon and Wal-Mart were the only top retail sites to see an increase in unique visitors in the U.S. during the period of Dec. 1 through Dec. 5, compared to the similar period last year.
But online auction giant eBay remains the top draw for online holiday shopping, according to numbers released over the weekend by the comScore Networks market research firm.
Two of Microsoft's big Live Search Cashback partners, eBay and Overstock.com, were among sites seeing unique visitors decline, according to the comScore data, shown in the chart above. The chart below shows raw traffic, in thousands of unique visitors.
