According to rankings from web security company Cloudflare, Google is no longer the world’s most popular domain, having been dethroned by TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cloudflare’s Year in Review report includes a list of the most popular domains, which represent domains that gained the most traffic from one year to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google.com, which includes Maps, Translate, and News, among other services, finished the previous year as the leader in Cloudflare’s rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TikTok was 7th in the rankings at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TikTok.com is now on track to overtake Google, Facebook, Amazon, and other world-leading domains by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following is the complete list of the top ten most popular domains as of late 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
TikTok’s journey to becoming the most popular domain in 2021 is described by Cloudflare as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was on February 17, 2021, that TikTok got the top spot for a day. Back in March, TikTok got a few more days and also in May, but it was after August 10, 2021, that TikTok took the lead on most days. There were some days when Google was #1, but October and November were mostly TikTok\u2019s days, including on Thanksgiving (November 25) and Black Friday (November 26).\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Lists of the most popular social media domains, e-commerce platforms, and video streaming sites are also included in Cloudflare’s report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To no surprise, Amazon was the most popular e-commerce domain at the end of the year, followed by Taobao, eBay, and Walmart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Giants like Netflix, YouTube, and HBOMax dominated the list of most popular video streaming sites. Surprisingly, Twitch did not make the top ten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting These Rankings in Their Proper Context<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Is this a sign that TikTok has surpassed Facebook as the most popular social media platform?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, it has a long way to go before it reaches those heights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Cloudflare, this means TikTok.com received more traffic than any other domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This does not imply that TikTok has more users than Google or other social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Insider Intelligence (formerly eMarketer), TikTok has surpassed Snapchat and Twitter in global user numbers while trailing Facebook and Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In other words, TikTok is the world’s third-largest social media platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The number of global TikTok users increased by 59.8 percent in 2020 and will increase by an additional 40.8 percent in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, Insider Intelligence predicts that TikTok’s global user base will grow by 15.1% in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that estimate is correct, TikTok will have a 20% share of all social media users by the end of next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If TikTok isn’t already a part of your social media marketing strategy for 2022, these figures should convince you that it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
