Top E-Tailers of October 2000

The Top 20 e-tailers of October 2000, according to PC Data Online.

Although Amazon.com remains the top Web purchase site in October, traditional and catalog retailers staged a strong and steady surge, according to PC Data Online. With 1.5 million buyers and more than 21 million unique users, Amazon.com towered above most e-tailers and bested the number of projected buyers for the next three ranked Web sites combined.

“Traditional retailers are becoming a force online this year,” said Cameron Meierhoefer, Internet analyst for PC Data Online. “Last holiday season, online retailing was seen as a threat to traditional brick-and-mortar retailers. This year these same retailers are benefiting the most from the growth in online shopping.”
