Authored by Jay Baage on August 15, 2008 - 8:54am.

Reston, VA - Google’s web properties had more than 141 million unique visitors in July, making it the largest visited group of sites, placing Yahoo and Microsoft at second and third place, according to a fresh report from web analytics firm ComScore Media Metrix.

AOL landed in fourth place while Fox Interactive Media, owners of MySpace, was the fifth most visited group of sites, with a registered 88 million unique visitors. CBS Corporation jumped 27 spots to #10 due to its recent acquisition of CNET Networks, which resulted in an incremental gain of nearly 30 million visitors to the property.


“Ground travel and cruise sites gained once again, as many Americans sought more budget-friendly ways to enjoy their summer vacations amid economic and fuel price concerns. Summer blockbusters and big celebrity news also provided a boost to the entertainment categories,” said Jack Flanagan, executive vice president of comScore Media Metrix.


While Facebook is the fastest growing social-networking site, overall it landed at No. 16 with 39 million visitors.

You said: Google’s web properties had more than 141 million unique visitors in July, making it by far the largest visited group of sites.
Google has 141 million and Yahoo has 140 million. How is this "by far"?

You have a point

"by far" taken away. Good catch. Cheers, Jay Baage
