Google Attracts A Million Visitors, Surpassing Microsoft, Facebook
According to the data unveiled by ComScore, search engine giant Google surpassed its tech rivals Microsoft and Facebook in terms of unique visitors. By attracting more than one billion unique visitors in May, Google has become world’s first internet company to achieve such an enormous figure. In the report released Tuesday, ComScore, a company that garners web data, had evaluated the result by exemplifying the surfing habits of two million internet users.
As quoted by The Wall Street Journal, “ComScore refines the estimates with “page view” data that it receives from more than 90 of the 100 publishers of Web content, but not from Google.” Unique visitors are calculated by counting an individual only once in a month, irrespective of the number of visits made by the reader in a month.

On the other hand, Microsoft registered a decline of 13.6 percent with 204 billion minutes.
