Seattle, Washington - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - November 23, 2005 - Online retailing giant, Amazon.com, Inc., has announced the return of the Holiday Delight-O-Meter, which first debuted during the 2000 holiday season. This year’s Delight-O-Meter, which appears in the right column of the Amazon.com home page, tracks the approximate number of items ordered from Amazon’s sites worldwide. It launched today with more than 33 million items ordered since November 1, 2005.

Amazon.com is preparing for its biggest holiday season ever, and while most retailers are closed Thanksgiving Day, Amazon’s web sites will remain open. Customers can utilize convenient features such as the recently launched Gift Central, with over 40 gift guides from leading consumer magazines, to find all the perfect gifts from the comfort of their homes while the Thanksgiving turkey is in the oven.

Additionally, customers can take advantage of Amazon Prime, and Free Super Saver Shipping, to save money and ensure that their gifts get delivered in time for the holidays.

According to the company, The Delight-O-Meter should not be viewed or used as a predictor of revenue or other financial information relating to Amazon.com. The Delight-O-Meter is updated continually, but lags actual items ordered depending on the item.

The Delight-O-Meter tracks the approximate number of items ordered from Amazon.com and third-party sellers at www.amazon.com, www.amazon.co.uk, www.amazon.de, www.amazon.fr, www.amazon.co.jp, www.amazon.ca, as well as Amazon.com-owned items, such as books, music and DVD and video products, ordered at Syndicated Stores domains (such as www.borders.com) and from Amazon.com’s stores at www.target.com.

The Delight-O-Meter excludes certain items, including items ordered from www.joyo.com, Amazon gift certificates, items ordered through catalogs and items not owned by Amazon.com ordered through non-Amazon.com domains - such as www.target.com. The Delight-O-Meter is not adjusted for items ordered that are subsequently canceled or returned.
