FACEBOOK SITE RANKS FOUR IN WORLD

Wednesday, August 05, 2009

              Among the social networking sites FACEBOOK is the mostly prefered one and it ranks first among those networking sites. But in the month of June alone it gained 24 million unique visitors worldwide, compared to the month before, for a total of 340 million unique visitors worldwide. 

              It is now the Fourth largest site in the world, trailing only Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo sites, according to comScore (see table below).

It surged past AOL sometime in February, 2009, and just last month it finally passed the Wikimedia Foundation sites (which includes Wikipedia).So there it stands at No. 4. It will be a while, if ever, before it catches up to the three world leaders: Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo. They each have between 240 million and 500 million more monthly global unique visitors than Facebook (see chart below). But it’s always good for a company to have stretch goals.
