According to statistics from the Internet analysis company ComScore, Americans spend most of their time online on Facebook. Facebook accounted for 10.8% of total pageviews in December 2012. In the same month, Americans spent 10% of their time online searching Google and YouTube.

What websites do Americans like to browse the most?

Over the past year, the number of visitors to many websites has increased significantly, mainly due to the popularity of mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. In December 2012, the number of visits via mobile phones increased by 29% among the top 25 websites. Compared to a year ago, ESPN's online views increased by as much as 56%. The growth in the number of mobile browsers is not necessarily good news for Internet companies.

Carmela Aquino, senior marketing manager of the analysis company, said that although the number of viewers has definitely shifted to mobile phone users, it still cannot replace personal computer users. The advertising objects and charges of the two are also different, so the market strategies are constantly changing to cater to the needs of users. Many websites in the United States are also paying more and more attention to mobile video advertising, causing advertising prices to rise. For example, websites such as Yahoo and AOL have also launched video content competitions and doubled down on Yahoo Finance's live broadcasts and Huffington Post's live reporting programs to increase advertising revenue and effectiveness with high-quality videos. Lipsman said: "The development and progress of the Internet in the past 10 years will also be the blueprint for the development of mobile Internet in the next few years."

In order to attract users, some websites propose personalized designs, such as Yahoo, which allows customers to set personal user content based on their search history and data shared on social media, so that the website can attract more users. In addition, due to the growth of overall online retail, in the fourth quarter of 2012, eBay's sales increased by 18% compared with the previous year, and Amazon's sales increased by 35%. Based on comScore data, "24/7 Wall Street" identified the 10 most popular websites among Americans.
