What Will it Look Like After UIGEA?

ComScore Networks, specialists in measuring Internet activity, revealed statistics showing the top European Internet properties for September, based on data collected through its comScore World Metrix audience ratings service.

The statistics are for September 2006 and so they do not reflect the impact of UIGEA- the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. In the category for online gambling, the numbers showed a general traffic increase in Europe of 3 percent, with 888.com topping the list at 6.9 million visitors, an increase of 9 percent over the previous August month, and Party Gaming in the number two spot at 4.1 million visitors - a healthy 16 percent increase.

In the European sites, Wikipedia saw the greatest gains during September, rising 18 percent to 60 million visitors. The You Tube site which was recently purchased by Google in a billion dollar deal attracted over 27 million visitors.

Top European Sites - as usual - were Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! These sites retained their rankings as the top three properties among European Internet users, with each remaining relatively flat measured against August.
