UK retail sites to see 8% growth at Christmas

Hitwise is predicting that visits to UK online retail sites will see a growth of 8% this Christmas over last. This is a rate of growth fast than last year and search engines will account for 35% of visits with Google and Yahoo leading the fray.

Hitwise has also launched a new data center facility which gives a variety of information including search engine share. In September this was:

Google.co.uk 66%

Google.com 12%

Yahoo 6%

MSN 6%

Which all in all means that Google continues to lead the way with the ‘American’ site beating the UK sites of its two main competitors.
