By xaby | July 2, 2007
In a survey published Wednesday, online audience measurement firm Hitwise Inc. announced that YouTube.com increased its U.S market share of visits by 70% between January and May 2007.
The popular video sharing website has enjoyed dominance of the online video market despite increasing competition, most publicly from MySpace Videos, which recently announced plans to redouble their efforts to compete with YouTube. The survey noted that the traffic to the next 64 largest video sites rose only 8% over the same period
Overall, YouTube commanded 60.2% of the online video market in May, nearly four times that of its nearest competitor, MySpace Videos, which held 16.08%. Rounding out the top five are Google Video, Yahoo Inc., and Microsoft’s MSN, which obtained 7,.81%, 2.77%, and 2.09% of the American audience, respectively
