Dec. 18, 2015—Amazon.com Inc. dominated online shoppers’ attention throughout November and the key, competitive Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a new study finds.
The online retailer, No. 1 in the Internet Retailer 2015 Top 500 Guide, captured consumers’ attention and did so with authority, according to a study by research firm Kantar Media, research firm Millward Brown Digital and social media intelligence platform Unmetric.

Nine other retail websites combined had about a 13 percent share of time spent on site and were led by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (No. 3 in the Top 500), Target Corp. (No. 16) and Best Buy Co. (No. 14) during that period (Nov. 2 through 25).
Millward Brown examined online usage data to 147 shopping sites from its consumer panel of more than 1 million households to identify shopping sites visited and amount of time spent. Data is based on personal computrer device usage; mobile traffic was not included. Data was tabulated Nov. 2 through 30 (Cyber Monday).
