Overall, the numbers showed an expected but sharp decline: the
percentage of U.S. visits was down 11% on Thanksgiving Day in 2008
compared to last year, and U.S. traffic on Black Friday was down 5%.
But online-only (not brick-and-mortar) stores, of which there are 100
in the list of 500 top retail websites, had a pretty good run: the
percentage of U.S visits to those shot up 11% on Thanksgiving Day, and
went up 10% on Black Friday compared to 2007.
