How does Google and Facebook’s U.S. traffic compare?

These are among the most visited websites in the world. Based on statistics about traffic comparison of Google and Facebook in the U.S., the social networking giant actually generally had less traffic than the world’s most famous search engine. Traffic was measured based on the number of unique visitors per month. From April to October 2011, Facebook’s traffic grew from over 147 million to over 153 million. Afterwards it dropped somewhat, before picking up again in January 2012, from which point it shot to over 160 million, as of July 2012. The latter figure wasn’t far behind Google’s traffic for the same month – over 166 million. Perhaps Facebook will soon outstrip it.
