Yahoo finally topples Google as most visited website

 Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer

Yahoo has beaten Google to be named the most visited website in the United States, according to the latest report from ComScore.

The once-fledgling tech company received 196.6 million unique visitors to its search website in July, compared to 192.3 million for Google, the monthly statistics show.

This is the first time Yahoo has taken the top spot for U.S. web traffic since May 2011.
Yahoo has been in the top two or three spots repeatedly, however the company has found securing the top spot tricky for the past two years. 

Yahoo acquired Tumblr earlier this year for $1 billion but the traffic haul does not include people who visited Tumblr, according to ComScore.

'Tumblr is not currently included in the Yahoo! Sites roll-up.

Yahoo is gradually coming back. Google take note.
