The 2005 Internet Retailer Top 10 E-Commerce Sites

In my recent UIE Virtual Seminar on home page design, I mentioned that Staples was the 3rd ranked e-commerce site on the web. Several people wrote in to ask where I got the data for that statistic.

I use the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide as my authority on this topic. For those of you who are interested, the 2005 Top 10 e-commerce sites are:

1	Amazon.com	$8,490,000,000
2	Office Depot	$3,800,000,000
3	Staples	$3,800,000,000
4	Dell	$3,780,000,000
5	HP Home & Home Office	$2,830,000,000
6	Office Max	$2,570,000,000
7	Sears Holdings*	$2,160,000,000
8	CDW	$1,770,000,000
9	SonyStyle.com	$1,620,000,000
10	NewEgg.com	$1,300,000,000

* Sears Holdings includes Sears.com, Kmart.com, and LandsEnd.com

If you haven’t studied how these sites work, you probably should. They are obviously doing something right…
