We looked at Comscore E-commerce data about the top 15 online retail sites visited by shoppers in the U.S. in September of 2019 and how they scored in numbers of visitors.
Coming after last January’s stellar results, where Amazon’s fourth-quarter net sales jumped 20% over the previous year’s, the online retailer has seen its earnings drop in Q3 of the year by 26%, which might be correlated to the decrease in its first-place position to 20.9% of all visits in September compared to 21.9% in January.
