Google has been the most visited site of 2011 in US, with Facebook coming a close second, a new study has revealed. The survey, conducted by Nielsen, suggests that more than 153 million visitors clicked onto Google branded pages each month, while Facebook attracted close to 138 million visitors. As Yahoo came third with about 130 million visitors each month.
That's why Google lunched Google+ to compete with Facebook. But still I I salute 26-year-old young guy Mark Zuckerberg the owner of Facebook, who beats the king of the Internet.
Well google and facebook are two different companies. Is like comparing Apple and Microsoft. One sells computers, phones, tablets and software while the other just specializes in software. Similarly, Google offers their users everything from online search, maps, email, social network etc while Facebook is really only a social network. So if you compare the whole companies there is really no questions on who is going to destroy who, but if you just take in consideration google+ and facebook...well i think google will have a really hard time attract facebook users to user their service.
It is a close fight, obviously. Facebook and Google has different purposes and I don't see the point why we need to compare their traffic. 2012 will be a new year and stats might be different this time. Yahoo has a fair share of traffic too which is good because it means google still has some competition. Rain
