US: Google takes lead over Yahoo in unique visitors
Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on May 16, 2008 at 9:41 AM
Although not directly related to newspapers, this is of interest in terms of larger trends : for the first time, Google has surpassed Yahoo as the most popular website in the US, according to comScore's unique monthly visitor rankings.
Until now, Yahoo's panoply of sites received more traffic that Google, although the latter has long been the Internet's leader in search.
The lead is very small, 466,000 visitors out of about 141 million unique visitors both for Yahoo and Google.
But the finding could be more significant in terms of Web trends as a whole. In April 2008, Google's unique audience in the US had grown 18%, compared to 7% for Yahoo.
