Google Hits One Billion Unique Visits In a Month 126
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."

I'm responsible for all KINDS of different searches from over 20 IP's...
Oops, we stand corrected: Make that 999,999,981 unique visitors.
Of course, we kind of fudged the underage we got from the countless Internet cafés worldwide, then jiggled things a bit to cope with laptops and tablets in Starbucks and airports... oh - we did catch that two month period when you were leeching off your neighbour's wifi. And we tried to tell the difference between the times when you accessed the web via your Kindle, your XBox and your Android phone, because you know, at this level of accuracy, mere statistical analysis isn't going to cut it....
So... thanks a bunch for clearing that up. Our numbers just wouldn't be the same without the benefit of your little anecdote....
Oh, wait - yes they would.
