Analysis: MySpace Is A Growing Source of Traffic for Shopping WebsitesAuthored by LeeAnn Prescott on June 6, 2007 - 8:56am.
MySpace is another growing source of traffic for shopping websites. In May 2007, 3.15% of Shopping & Classifieds site visits originated at MySpace, an increase of 86.1% since May 2006. This increase could be attributable to several factors: 1) the sheer increase in visits to MySpace (up 67.1% from May 06 - May 07, vs. the 6.6% increase in visits to the Shopping & Classifieds category), resulting in more non-referred traffic, 2) increased retailer advertising on MySpace, 3) the Google-MySpace search deal, which may have led to more general web searching on MySpace as well more potential retail contextual ads. The leading Shopping & Classifieds websites in MySpace's downstream for the month of May largely resemble the top overall retail websites - 7 of the websites shown in the table below were also top 10 Shopping & Classifieds sites in May 2007.
