Facebook has surpassed Google.com (just visits, just USA)
- romland 17y agoLink bait or irrelevant -- not sure which. ...add google.COM.
- sinzone 17y agoyou are right, now it's clearer... ;)
- bad_user 17y agonr of visits != nr of visitors ... and the later is more important to me.
- sinzone 17y agoIt's number of visits. If you look at Unique Visitors stats google.com still first: http://bit.ly/8UDhHK http://bit.ly/8UDhHK. What is real amazing about these stats is not the visits itself, but the growth. Thinking about the future, FB will pass google under every aspect.
- moe 17y agoThe graph looks fairly stagnant towards the right. Also I'd like to stress what others have already said: Don't trust the fake metrics from compete. Plain old common sense tells you how unlikely these figures are. Look around you and count the number of internet users not on facebook. Now look again and count those not using google...
- schoudha 17y agoGoogle's goal: 1 Query => 1 visit Facebook's goal: 1 visit => 1000 page views This statistic is meaningless when put in context of the function of the two sites.
- coryl 17y agoI for one, welcome our new Facebook overlords
- quizbiz 17y agoDoes this include gmail, docs, etc?
- sinzone 17y agothey just use a "panel multi-sourcing" method. http://www.compete.com/resources/methodology/ http://www.compete.com/resources/methodology/
- axod 17y agoCome on. We all know Compete numbers are picked at random. I wouldn't trust this graph at all.
- hnhg 17y agoThis reminds me of the importance of thinking about what you want from each visit to your site. Google quickly became about generating a return on each visit (as someone else has said, google: 1 query => 1 visit, where that 1 visit becomes something with potential ad revenue). Facebook hasn't got the context to provide anything like this, I believe.
