Most people would guess that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) would do well this holiday season–better than their respective competitors.
Thanksgiving e-commerce traffic is that the online sales site and consumer electronics paragon have behaved as expected.
According to online research firm Hitwise, “The top visited Retail Website on Black Friday 2009 was Amazon receiving 13.55 % of U.S. visits among the top 500 Retail Web sites.” The Apple Store had the largest increase in visits among the Top Twenty sites, up 110%. Mac, iPhone, and iPod sales may be better than most analysts expect.
