Robin Goad: "Facebookâs UK Internet traffic has more than doubled over the last year and it is now the second most visited website in the UK after google.co.uk. The social network accounted for 1 in every 24 UK Internet visits during the month of February and traffic to the site has already increased by 18.6% during 2009. … The remaining four brands are all online retailers: eBay, Amazon, Argos and Tesco. eBay and Amazon remain the most popular online retail brands, but the more traditional high street players are gaining on them all the time.
