We got a hold of some comScore numbers due out later this week reporting traffic for the top social networking sites in October. Facebook bounced back from the seasonal downturn in September, showing 7.5% month-over-month growth with 32.9 unique visitors for the month. However, that’s still down from the 33.7 million unique visitors reported in August, which indicates traffic growth may be starting to level. However, Facebook traffic is still up a robust 117.8% since October of last year.

Meanwhile, MySpace hit a new all-time high with 71.9 million unique visitors in October. While the site also had a seasonal dip in September, unlike Facebook the total was up from August, when the company had a reported 68.4 million uniques. On the plus side for Facebook, users spent 9.3% more time on the site in October than they did in September, compared to a 2.2% increase for MySpace.
