London - Fourteen of the top 25 U.S. Web properties attract more traffic from people outside the U.S. than from within, according to a new study by comScore Networks.

Among them are the top five Web properties in the U.S. -- Yahoo, Time Warner Network, Microsoft, Google and eBay.

"As Internet usage outside the U.S. has grown rapidly from a small base, the U.S. share of the world's online population has fallen from 65% to less than 25% in the last 10 years," said Bob Ivins, the managing director of comScore Europe.

Ivins said that more than three-quarters of the traffic to Google, Yahoo and Microsoft is now coming from outside of the U.S.
