Now #2 most visited after Microsoft

Microsoft & Yahoo have always had a big advantage thanks to their popular web mail services. Now Google has leap-frogged Yahoo to become the #2 most visited web site, because either

- Gmail has taken off
- All those beta apps really add up
- Google search has become more popular
- All of the above

ComScore's figures show that Google's site traffic rose by 9.1% to 475.7 million visitors while Yahoo's traffic rose just 5.2% bringing its tally to 475.3 million visitors. Microsoft still held on to a 26 million visitor advantage at 501.7 million.
