Internet traffic measurement firm ComScore has just released the results of its March WorldMetrix survey, which found that 25%, or 168.1 million, of the total 694 million global Internet users (age 15+) can be found in four countries — China, Japan, Korea and India. But the U.S. still tops the charts for any single country, with 152 million total users, representing 22% of the global audience.
In terms of individual countries, China is second largest with 74.7 million users followed by Japan (52.1 million), Germany (31.8 million) and Britain (30.2 million).
Google and Yahoo are neck and neck in terms of worldwide reach, with Google coming in second with 495.8 million users and Yahoo coming in third with 480.2 million. Although the comparision doesn’t seem fair, Microsoft ranked first with its “collection” of web sites, which include not only MSN but also the Redmond giant’s software and Hotmail sites.
The remaining top sites (all U.S. centric) are Ebay, Time Warner (including AOL perhaps?), Amazon, Wikipedia (surprise!) and Ask (formerly Ask Jeeves).
