Facebook – The Biggest Site In United States
The leading source for insights about online marketing, e-commerce and industry trends, Hitwise has recently announced that Facebook is now the biggest site in US. According to the latest data from Hitwise, Facebook surpassed Google to become the most visited site in the US in the past week. It is interesting to know that there is a very small gap between the two giants and other analytics companies aren’t seeing the same numbers, but it’s yet a important milestone.

The market share of visits to Facebook.com increased 185% last week as compared to the same week in 2009, while visits to Google.com increased 9% during the same time frame. Together Facebook.com and Google.com accounted for 14% of all US Internet visits last week.
Facebook accounted for 7.07 percent of the web traffic in the US last week and Google for 7.03 percent. The two are followed by Yahoo Mail with 3.8 percent, Yahoo with 3.67 percent and YouTube with 2.14 percent.
