How Did We Calculate Who Owned The Most Profitable Website,
Where Did We Find Out The Earnings Of These Companies?
To obtain the turnover of the companies in this list, we first analyzed SEC 10-K reports that publicly traded companies submit within 60 days of the company’s fiscal year-end.
For private companies, reputable sites such as Business Insider, Forbes, and Bloomberg were utilized and cross-referenced to identify revenue amounts for each company’s most recent completed fiscal year. In cases of multiple sites showcased varying numbers, the lowest was used.
Top Earning Websites Notes:
- Yandex is a Russian Internet company that operates the largest search engine in the Russian Federation, with about 60% market share in the country.
- Net Ease, Inc. is a leading China-based Internet technology company founded in 1997 that pioneered the development of applications, services, and other technologies for the Internet in China.
