Google Passes Yahoo as Second Most-Visited Web Site

Google Inc. displaced Yahoo! Inc. as the world’s second-most visited Web site in November and closed in on leader Microsoft Corp., a market researcher said today. Visitors to Google’s sites rose 9.1 percent to 475.7 million in November from a year earlier, while those to Yahoo sites rose 5.2 percent to 475.3 million, ComScore Networks Inc. said today. Both sites trail Microsoft, which had 501.7 million visitors, ComScore said.

With the rate that Google is growing, it shouldn’t be too much longer before they exceed Microsoft. They only have a 5% lead, so they are not exactly dominating.
