GOOOOOOOO FB

 

[Nezron]

they are both just to good to not use. They are the default of the internet world

Both good services, but I am still surprised that Facebook beats Google. Who uses Facebook and not Google? The inverse is however easy to imagine...

Alexa disagrees.

Alexa is a joke.

Alexa is a joke.

Funny then how webmasters trading traffic tout Alexa rankings to their advantage. Like any 3rd party tracking program they are not 100% accurate, but it's a source people use as not all high-traffic sites make their logs or visitor statistics freely available.

Care to elaborate on your opinion?

Where does comScore get their data from? Do Google, Facebook, etc really share their stats with them, or is it just another educated guess like Alexa?

Well google is low bandwidth. But facebook is a link magnet.

Not long before all those anti-FB people cave....

FB is such a waste of time and space. I have an account, but blocked all the annoying crap, which turned out to be just about everything.

 

[Helghast]

Wow! now this is a shocker!

 

[Rodent-Boy]

So far two people use BookFace but not Google? Seriously?

 

[LazyLion]

hmm, I'm sceptical. Maybe more bandwidth is transferred using Failbook... but I'm sure more people land on google's search page than FB on a daily basis.
