My objective is not to befuddle or caution you, however I must talk reality. Along these lines I say, with all due gravity, that in the event that it were 16 years back, you would at this moment be perusing this article at Excite.com.
That is truly one of the best case situations. You could likewise be at Infoseek, or Tripod (what) or Xoom (what?). Since the web in December 1998 was a much diverse, much lamer place.
We like to consider destinations like Google, Facebook and Amazon as changeless — parts of the web as it exists now and has constantly existed. This is not the situation, in any case. Sixteen years prior, just Amazon (the CEO of which claims The Post) was a famous webpage; it was the sixteenth most prevalent website on the web as per Media Metrix (which later was ingested into comscore). Infoseek and Hotbot were more famous than Google (which, that December, resembled this) and Facebook (which didn't exist).
Locales like AOL and Yahoo did exist — and were well known. Yet the most straightforward approach to make that indicate is offer with you this realistic, which demonstrates the 20 most prominent locales in December of every year, as per comscore. All the more interestingly, what it shows is the point at which certain destinations got to be and after that quit being prominant.
I will be the first to concede that this is so little there is no option read. So I broke it out into littler groups.

1996 to 2000
This area of the chart shows the heart of the first website blast, the period in which financial specialists assumed that the world couldn't avoid goods conveyed to ones home or pet supplies requested on the web. How wrong they were!
The primary year here is 1996, when the web was … adolescent. A few of the main 20 destinations were school locales, on account of schools having put right on time in the web. AOL and Yahoo were there as well, as they have been since the time that. Generally, notwithstanding, the rundown is trash rubbish like "GNN" and "Teleport," which we don't even comprehend what they are.
Notice the rising of Excite and CNET. They'll be intriguing in the following piece of the chart.
2000 to 2004
Energize plunges; CNET is skipping around in the center. (Stay tuned!)
Ebay, you'll perceive, is in the main five, and Amazon is holding solid. Those giving careful consideration to the development of the media business are right now nodding and saying, "Hmmm" suggestively.
What's truly intriguing, however, is that top level: Microsoft/MSN. Yippee, in the wake of retaining Geocities. Furthermore, out of nowhere, Google — which supplanted other web indexes (Altavista and Webcrawler, for instance) as the go-to for web clients.
This is the common time when we note that comscore incorporates each site connected with an organization. So Go and ESPN along these lines on are a piece of "Disney." That holds for whatever is left of the listnig.
2004 to 2009
This is the point at which things start to stabilize. In 2007, Facebook appears, thanks to its having expanded beyond only accommodating college students.
Yet the top level, which incorporates Time Warner (after it retained AOL) and afterward AOL (after that fallen) contains organizations that generally involve the upper levels today.
There are a considerable measure of different good and bad times here. Viacom, Walmart, and Ask Jeeves/Ask are ones to keep an eye on.
Ebay is beginning to blur.
2009 to 2013
Welcome to the present day time. Keep in mind, this is information from comscore (connections to the individual years are underneath). So different measurements may have different rankings.
Anyhow the main five keeps on comprising of the same destinations: Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook and AOL. The fascinating moves are lower on the outline: Apple fluttering around, and the presence of Linkedin, which we all trust doesn't climb any higher.
2014?
What’s interesting about this data is that, despite its reflecting December (with noted exceptions), it’s pretty static. Walmart and Target don’t appear to do better because it’s the holiday season; Wikipedia (and Wikimedia, its umbrella organization) does fine despite school being out.
So what happens this year? We shall see. I do have a prediction though: Xoom is set for a comeback, even though it is now a money-sending site (?) instead of an "Instant software source".
Yeah,You heard it here first!.
