UK web rankings

For June 2008, one of the leaders in measuring the digital world, comScore released the Top UK web rankings. The company published the rankings of the largest and fastest-growing Internet properties and site categories in the U.K. based on data from the comScore World Metrix audience measurement service.

June saw modest increases in the entertainment news, retail fragrances/cosmetics, retail jewelry/luxury goods/accessories, and careers services and development site categories. Channel4 was the fastest growing site in June, up 32 percent to 4.7 million unique visitors, driven by interest in this season's Big Brother. Department store John Lewis secured second sport in the rankings with up 14 percent to 2.4 million unique visitors. AOL's acquisition of Bebo.com propelled it to the number 6 ranking in the U.K. with 17.1 million visitors.
