The favourite websites visited by UK surfers were not surprisingly made up mostly of the large search giants Amazon and Google, proving that people continue to enjoy mega search sites with the occasional odd favourite site.
Awards for the best sites during the past three months were voted on by visitors at BT’s website in the BT Online Excellence Awards made up of 5,000 nominations and 27,000 votes.
The top ten votes from first to last are as follows:
1.Google.com
2. BBC.co.uk
3. Amazon.com (books)
4. Next.co.uk
5. BBC.co.uk/cbeebies
6. Amazon.com
7. BBCgoodfood.com
8. Amazon.com (electrical)
9. Greenpeace.org.uk
10. Gardenersworld.com
Matt Walton, head of online channel development at BT, said: “We weren’t interested in the technical aspects of the sites, just why users like them.
“As we suspected, the range of products or information available was the most important factor, followed by how easy it was use.”
The BBC won best in three of the 17 categories in the contest, winning the top spot for Best Cookery Website, Best Kids Website and Best News Website.
