Less surfing in July

 At least on the internet: As expected, the Net-Metrix audit for July shows a drop in usage compared to the previous month. The audit evaluates the usage data of a total of 151 websites. A total of 127 million visits were counted for the websites included in the audit in July, compared to 131 million in the previous month. The decline was to be expected, writes Net-Metrix in its press release, as the trend traditionally points downwards during the summer vacation period. However, some sites, particularly in the leisure/travel and weather sectors, were also used more frequently due to seasonal factors. It is therefore not surprising that the frontrunners in the top list in July are MySwitzerland, Swissinfo/SRI and Topin.travel.
