Google Hits One Billion Unique Visits In a Month

Posted by samzenpus on from the they-grow-up-so-fast dept.

BogenDorpher writes "According to statistics from ComScore, for the first time ever, a website drew one billion visitors worldwide in just one month. Guess what website came out on top? Google of course. Microsoft and Facebook rounded out the top three. From the article: 'Though Google captured the most visitors last month, users collectively spent the most time at Facebook--250 billion minutes in May, compared with 200 billion minutes at Google and 204 billion at Microsoft."

    MSDN developer documentation and admin reference. People do write Windows software and administer all those systems, you know.

    Took me a second.

    They don't mean a billion clicks.

    They mean a billion different people. One seventh of the world's population followed any of Google's URI's at some point during the month.

    Fuck.

    Looks like about 600k visitors per day, or 416 visitors per minute: https://www.google.com/adplanner/planning/site_profile?hl=en#siteDetails?identifier=slashdot.org&lp=true
