With over 3.5 billion searches per day, Google has cemented its position as the go-to source for information on the internet. But Google\u2019s dominance doesn\u2019t stop there. The company also owns YouTube, the second-most popular website in the world. Together, Google and YouTube have more traffic than the next 48 websites combined.<\/p>\n<p>The power of\u00a0<strong>YouTube<\/strong>, in particular, is sometimes not fully understood. The video platform is the second largest search engine in the world after Google. As well, YouTube has the second highest duration-of-visit numbers in this top 50 ranking. (First place goes to the Chinese video sharing website, Bilibili.)<\/p>\n<p>But Google and YouTube aren\u2019t the only big players on the internet. Other websites in the top 50 ranking include social media giants Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. In particular, TikTok has seen a surge in popularity in recent years and is now one of the most popular social media platforms in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the full top 50 ranking table form:<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-2818\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-2818\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Rank<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Website<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Monthly Traffic<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-4\">Category<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-5\">Country<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">#1<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">google.com<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">85.1B<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Search Engines<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-5\">&#x1f1fa;&#x1f1f8;
