Ynet is the most popular Israeli news and general content websites. It is owned by the same conglomerate that operates Yediot Ahronot, the country's leading daily newspaper, but all of Ynet's content is original work published on the website only, written by an independent staff.[1][2] Ynet was launched on June 2000 in Hebrew only, but since 2004 operates a short English edition, Ynetnews which deals mainly with news and commentary. For two years, Ynet had also an Arabic version, which ceased to operate in May 2005. Ynet's main competition are Walla! and Nana. Since 2008, Ynet is Israel's most popular internet portal, as measured by Google Trends.[3]

According to Alexa Internet traffic rankings, Ynet is among the top 1000 websites in the world and in top 10 sites in Israel.[4]
