The scoring methodology utilized was a weighted point system that gave preference to changes that happened closest to the top, i.e., a change in rank in the top 10 was scored higher than a change in rank in the lower 50. We considered only those companies whose final Similarweb rank was within the top 100 sites in their category.<br \/>\nThe 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners were then identified in each category, resulting in 39 award winners in total for the U.S.<br \/>\n*<em>The scores for two domains: citibankonline.com and citi.com were merged and ranked as one domain entity.<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.similarweb.com\/corp\/reports\/similarweb-2016-highlights-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Download the 2016 Similarweb Highlights Report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Similarweb Momentum Awards 2016 The Similarweb Momentum Awards recognize websites in the U.S. that have demonstrated exceptional advancement in their online category in 2016.
