Wikipedia says Yahoo! is the 11th most-visited website in the world. Surely that should qualify.. either the clue ought to be more specific, or Yahoo! accepted as a type-in

Great that you liked it, will submit a new quiz tomorrow. Sorry about the wrong term, English is not my mother tongue so I'm bound to be "imperfect". Now corrected.
