Most Popular Websites
Despite the fact that there are other sites that have more monthly visitors, Google.com remains the most visited website in the world. The reason for this is because Google is so much more than just a site. They are an internet industry titan. Most people use their search engine rather than any other because they know what they are going to find on it.
The pages per visit is a popular engagement metric that is calculated by dividing the total number of website views by the total number of visitors. With this statistic, we can compare the website’s user experience and content quality against one another to see which delivers better results. Most websites seem to deliver higher numbers in the mobile browsing category when they make use of responsive design and dynamic content.
It is also a good measure of website success, as it shows how engaging the content on your site or blog is. Most users come to Google.com via Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Most users leave the site after viewing 6.1 pages per visit.
Most users live in China (11% of 50,000+ visits), France (4%), and Brazil (3%). The average bounce rate for searchers landing on this page was 42%.

Note: Most of these sites make their money through advertising revenue, so they may display advertisements throughout their site. This will usually mean there are banner ads and/or pop-up windows when you visit each site in its web browser.
Most of them are also available to use on mobile, though some may require a different app download for this platform due to their large size.

Most of these websites were last updated in September 2020 or later.

One of the most popular websites / social media sites on the planet, the Facebook subsidiary Instagram — aka IG or Insta — allows users to post and comment on photos and videos. Most people mainly use the app to show their favorite moments.
Instagram was the fourth most downloaded app from 2010-2019, and it is available in 32 languages. The app has over 800 million active users per day, with 300 million being “Instagram Stories’ users.

However, Twitter’s popularity has decreased in recent years due to the rise of other social media sites including Facebook and Instagram.
Yahoo
Still going strong is Yahoo.com. Yahoo was the leading search engine and news source for a very long time and still can hold it’s own as one of the most popular websites online. The model has changed a bit however as it really has found more traction for news, articles, finance, etc. vs purely a search engine.
Yandex.ru
Yandex.ru is a different type of search engine, however. This is Russia’s leading search engine and the 2nd most visited website across Russia. It offers an outstanding user experience in comparison to Google’s poor one, seeing its share rise even further due to that. Yandex.ru has also expanded to other parts of Eastern Europe as well.
Yandex Search is responsive to real-time queries, recognizing when a query requires the most current information. As a result, Yandex Search delivers both the most relevant and the most topical results for queries to keep users informed with up-to-date news, information and discussions.
The search engine is very user-friendly because of its intuitive design, which makes it easier to navigate through the website. It also features a white-label engine that can be customized according to clients’ needs.
All in all, Yandex Search is one of the best ways to find what you need on the internet as it can identify a user’s needs quickly and deliver relevant results from diverse sources.
In 2009, Yandex launched MatrixNet, a new method of machine learning that significantly improves the relevance of search results. It allows the Yandex search engine to take into account a very large number of factors when it makes the decision about the relevancy of a search result.
MatrixNet is a completely different technique from the traditional ML techniques in use today. Most ML models work with sequential data and relatively stable environments – for example, when searching for a word in a database, looking at the letter “t” when it appears in an alphabetical list or looking for one image in a pile of pictures.
In contrast, MatrixNet uses parallel data and dynamic environments – for example, when typing text in a search field or uploading pictures to Flickr.MatrixNet is based on recurrent neural networks that are good at generalization and can process long sequences.
Most importantly, MatrixNet incorporates a set of tools for incorporating new information while searching and adapting to the changing environment. en provides relevant answers. The technology was used at the SUSU Student Battle where students answered each other’s questions on scientific topics.
