From the day after Thanksgiving through Monday, comparison shopping site MSN Shopping reported 21 percent more visits than the same period in 2005, and a 63 percent increase in visits on "Cyber
Monday." MSN's traffic bump on the day after Thanksgiving was higher than the overall increase in visits to e-commerce sites
reported on Monday by Nielsen//NetRatings, which showed only a 12 percent year-over-year increase.
