Facebook Surpasses Yahoo and Google Afraid of Facebook

Every year, the list of most of pop­u­lar web­sites in the United States will be announced to the world. Two years before, Yahoo was in the first place. In Feb­ru­ary, 2008, Google over­took Yahoo and pushed Yahoo to sec­ond place. It was shock­ing news for Yahoo on that year. Again in the end of the year 2009, Yahoo has been over­taken by Face­book and now Face­book is in the sec­ond place with the 132 mil­lion unique vis­i­tors. The rate of growth is really very high in the year 2009, that you can see in the below chart:
Still Google is in the top place with 147.8 unique vis­i­tors. How­ever, Google is afraid of Face­book, because Face­book Traf­fic passes Yahoo. Face­book is now near­ing towards Google to reach the #1 place. Between Decem­ber and Jan­u­ary, the traf­fic of Face­book grew by 1.5 mil­lion. It is 0.5 mil­lion high when com­pare with the Google traf­fic growth. This is the main rea­son why Google fear of Face­book. Another rea­son for that fear is that the time spent in face­book by the vis­i­tors is high when com­par­ing with the time spent in Google. So, there is no doubt with this growth rate, Face­book has chance and capa­bil­ity to reach the first place.
