Google Rated #1 Website Worldwide
For the third year in a row, Google has been rated the #1 website worldwide by Byte Level Research.
Tekrati.com is reporting on the 2006 edition of The Web Globalization Report Card, from Byte Level Research, and Google is on the top once again.
Wikipedia finished in second place, proving that you don’t need to be a global corporation to develop a successful global Web site. HP finished in third place, down from second place in 2005. IKEA, Volvo and DHL also rank in this year’s top ten.
“Since 2003, Google has nearly doubled the number of languages it supports — to 116 — making it one of the most global commercial Web sites ever built,” said John Yunker, chief analyst at Byte Level Research and author of the report. “But Google is not alone in having expanded language support over the past few years. From BMW to DHL to Starbucks, Web globalization is now a fact of life for most global companies.”
