The WSJ, via newsletter - Around the Net in Online Marketing, reports that online commerce was up over the critical weekend. Online spending for Black Friday was up 42% and Cyber Monday 24%.
Here it is, Cyber Monday, the Monday after Black Friday - the day Wal-Mart's servers got hit so hard they stalled. Wendy Davis reports that BF's online sales increased 42% over last year. Traffic was also up - depending on who was doing the measuring - between 2.7% (Hitwise) and 12% (Nielsen/NetRatings). Hitwise also reported, according to the article, a 11.8% increase on Thanksgiving Day. Hmmmm, looks like some folks were anticipating the heavy web activity.
