Who are the top 100 online retailers in the U.S.? Best answer on the web

by mike on January 5th, 2009 |

  • I'd like to find out which online retailers are most popular (however you want to define that). A list of the top 50 or top 100 from 2003 would be great. I found one for 1999, but that's too old.


  • Nice work. I just wish the list were in rank order . . . but I guess I didn't specify that. Thanks!


  • What was the source for the 1999 list you found? It might help a researcher to know what resources you've located on your own. Thanks.

Internet Retailer is pleased to announce its 2003 Best of the Web today. The Top 50 sites run the gamut of retailers and sizes--from Amazon.com, big and broad, to Guild.com, small and focused.
