No matter how you look at it, AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo! still dominate the Web.
That is the message from Internet analyst Jupiter Media Metrix, which announced Wednesday that despite changes in its measurement approach, the big three still stand astride the U.S. Top 50 Web and digital media property rankings.
In announcing a new categorization and reporting structure aimed at more accurately representing "an array of niche content delivered through dynamic platforms and technologies," Jupiter found that AOL properties were in the top 10 ranking of 37 categories and subcategories.
Jupiter said that Microsoft and MSN-branded components were in the top 10 ranking of 28 categories and subcategories, while the Yahoo! brand was in the top 10 ranking of 30 categories and subcategories.
