InternetRetailer.com has published its annual (third) Edition of the Top 500 Guide. The guide includes US outlets only. A printed 260-page book includes detailed information on top online stores in miscellaneous sectors. Information provided for every retailer:

• 2005 Internet sales
• Monthly web traffic
• Monthly unique visitors
• 16 sectors
• Average conversion rate
• Management
• Performance consistency
• Etc.

It is valuable information for small- mid-sized online retailers to see how their bigger competitors do, what it takes and how to improve general operation.

An advantage of the guide presentation is a sample listing that gives you a clear idea what to expect from the publication.

Another nice feature is an online list of all included online retailers added to the guide. If you do not want to spend money on the guide you can at least browse the websites of top online retailers and see their design and development techniques, make analysis of their marketing campaigns.

The guide price is $59.00, discounts apply if you order more than one copy. You can order your copy here
