Below are the 2008 top 100 US retailers (stores.org) ranked based on their web traffic (according to Alexa.com, as of January 2009), some interesting facts:
- some department stores (ex., Ross Stores) could very easily sell products online, but they prefer not to.
- several website designs look like amateur work (Berkshire-Hathaway or Stater Bros.)
- corporate websites for companies marked with * tend to have lower traffic values, which is normal
- web sales values for a company ranking 10th can actually be higher than the one ranking 7th in the Traffic Rank
