Ynet is the most popular
Israeli news and general content
website. It is owned by the same conglomerate that operates
Yediot Ahronot, the country's second leading
daily newspaper (Israel Hayom is the current leading). However, all of
Ynet<nowiki>'</nowiki>s content is original work, published exclusively on the website and written by an independent staff.
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. In addition, Ynet hosts the online version of Yedioth Aharanot's media group Magazines:
Laisha (which also operates Ynet's fashion section),
Pnai Plus,
Blazer,
GO magazine, and
Mentha. For two years,
Ynet had also an Arabic version, which ceased to operate in May 2005.
Ynet<nowiki>'</nowiki>s main competition comes from
Walla! and
Nana. Since 2008,
Ynet is Israel's most popular internet portal, as measured by
Google Trends.
According to
Alexa Internet traffic rankings,
Ynet is among the top 1000 websites in the world and the top 10 sites in Israel.
