ComScore said Wednesday that Yahoo Inc.’s websites saw 196.6 million unique U.S. visitors last month, while Google’s sites had 192.3 million.
The last time Yahoo was ahead of Google was in May 2011, according to comScore.
That said, Yahoo is still far behind Google in making money from the people who visit its websites. After stripping out ad commissions, Yahoo’s revenue came to $1.07 billion in the April-June quarter. Google’s, meanwhile, was $11.1 billion by the same measure.
Huh? How can this possibly be? I myself use Google ten times per day and I can’t remember the last time I visited Yahoo!
Who uses yahoo?
Its not a fare comparison. Yahoo.com is not only search. They have Mail, News, Stock Quotes etc. Where as Google.com is strictly for search.
If you want to truly compare. You’d take yahoo.com vs. Google.com and gmail.com etc.
