News sites IZA.ne.jp (60 percent increase) and JIJI.com (57 percent) became the two highest-gaining Web properties in Japan due to interest in a defense ministry payoff scandal. Japanese Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuka drew traffic to sports sites such as Nikkansports.com (35 percent increase) and Sponichi.co.jp (12 percent gain) during the U.S. Major League Baseball World Series.

The data are derived from comScore's World Metrix service. The service collects data from a global panel of more than two million opt-in consumers.
