Disclaimer
Although we attempt to visit all corporate North American web sites, this survey cannot be considered exhaustive. Moreover, the size and dynamic nature of the Web prevents a precise instantaneous snapshot. The statistics presented herein should be considered empirical and are limited by many assumptions made to simplify their evaluation.
