1.

Google
There’s no doubt that Google is the most popular search
engine, but this year it remains at the top spot as the most
popular website on the internet. Over 40k searches are
reported each second on Google – which translates to over 1.2
trillion searches per year! No matter what someone wants to
know, Google is the go-to. Not only that, but Google also now
serves as the hub for a plethora of other web services
including Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Drive and
many more.

most popular website on the internet and dominates the online
shopping world. From Amazon.com, site visitors can purchase
their favorite books, clothing, home goods, groceries and
more! And, if they sign up for the Prime membership, those

again this year.

average log onto Facebook daily and are considered daily
active users (Facebook DAU) as of January 2020, which
represents a 9% increase year over year.

5.Yahoo
Still going strong is Yahoo.com. Yahoo was the leading search
engine and news source for a very long time and still can hold
it’s own as one of the most popular websites online. The model
has changed a bit however as it really has found more traction
for news, articles, finance, etc. vs purely a search engine.

6.reddit
reddit.com claims that it is the “Front Page of the Internet.”
Created as a site for social sharing and social interaction,
