In April 2009, the average online American had 61 internet sessions, visited 108 domains, surfed 2,443 web pages and stayed on each page approximately 57 seconds, according to (pdf) monthly internet usage data from Nielsen Online.

These April numbers reflect one fewer monthly internet session than March data, as well as visits to three fewer domains and 111 fewer pages vs. March, in part because April is a shorter month.
