While it may surprise some people it hadn't yet happened (or perhaps that it actually did happen), Google has finally overtaken Yahoo as the most visited site on the Web.
Linda Rosencrance of Computerworld relayed some data out of comScore which shows that what some might have considered an inevitability has finally happened: Google is numero uno in website visits. With 141 million visits in April, they narrowly squeezed out Yahoo, which had 140.6 million visits.
Yes, Yahoo may have long been the busiest visitor center among Web giants, but it has had to relinquish its crown, if barely so. And perhaps temporarily so. All hinges on Google's ability to make ever more attractive its properties that sit separate from its main search site, which clearly commands its particular market in spades. Google News, as well as Gmail and even YouTube will need to continue growth apace if the company is to maintain its newfound lead on Yahoo in visitorship for a significant stint of time, if interminably.
