In the ranking of the 20 most visited sites by Hispanics living in the U.S., Google and Facebook take the first and second positions, respectively. Professional content destinations as opposed to user generated content sites as well as lifestyle and how-to properties are very popular among Hispanics.
While this may be obvious to many, what really calls the attention about the below ComScore rankings are certain habits of U.S. Hispanics that would differentiate these users’ behaviors from those living in Latin America.
Preference for third party content destinations, as opposed to user generated content sites, and a strong audiovisual bias are features of the digital consumption behaviors of Hispanic audiences. This is reflected by the presence of recognized TV and cable companies among the most visited websites such as Comcast NBC Universal, CBS Interactive and Turner Digital. In addition, Hispanics like to consume content that provides answers to everyday questions related to lifestyle, religious beliefs, and the development of different personal skills (particularly strong among Millennials), as the shown by the presence of Mode Media (former Glam), Ask Network and About.com in the below ranking.
