New York -- About 27.7 million U.S. Internet users visited retail web
sites on "Cyber" Monday, eclipsing the traffic those sites saw on the
previous "Black" Friday by 15%, according to new figures released by
Nielsen//NetRatings. "'Cyber Monday' brought a surge of traffic to many
online retailers as shoppers returned to work following the holiday
weekend ready to tackle their holiday gift lists," said Heather Dougherty,
a senior retail analyst for Nielsen//NetRatings. the firm said that shoppers
were enticed to the sites by steep discounts on merchandise and free
shipping offers. The top five online shopping destinations on Monday
included eBay, Amazon, Wal-Mart, Target and Overstock.com.
