According to the latest report from the Internet, market research firm comScore Networks became the most visited website in the world in, surpassing Microsoft in.
According to data, Google attracted March this year independent visitors in 0.528 billion, an increase of February this year over 5%. Microsoft attracted 0.527 billion independent visitors, an increase of February this year over 7%. In addition to the United States, Google's performance in Europe is even more eye-catching. Google said in its statement: "Our goal is to provide users with the best network experience. User needs are the starting point for our product development, which is also the main reason for us to stand out in the Internet market ."
So far, Microsoft has not commented on this. In January 2006, comScore began to track the access volume of various websites. Since then, Microsoft has dominated the world's most visited websites. Bob Evans, executive vice president of comScore, said: "Considering the growth of website access traffic, Microsoft had occupied this position long before the investigation began ."
Google is able to surpass Microsoft in terms of website access traffic, relying not only on network search engines, but also on a variety of services such as email, web maps, and personalized home pages. By the end of 2006, Google acquired the video sharing website YouTube with a $1.65 billion stake, which increased Google's website access volume. In comparison, Microsoft's Internet market growth in recent years is weak, and user growth is relatively slow. According to Evans, according to the current trend, Google will continue to expand its website access traffic gap with Microsoft in the future. Of course, the number of independent visitors is not the only criterion for determining whether the website is successful. For example, users' average stay on Google websites is 4.6 minutes, far behind Microsoft's 12.8 minutes.
The data published by comScore is mainly based on the analysis of network activities of 2 million users worldwide. In addition to Google and Microsoft, websites with the highest access volume in the world also include Yahoo!, which has 0.476 billion visitors; Time Warner, which has 0.272 billion visitors; and eBay, which has 0.256 billion visitors.
