Marissa Mayer’s Yahoo passed Google in U.S. Web visitors in July

“For the first time in more than two years, more Americans visited Yahoo’s websites than Google’s, according to comScore Inc.’s Internet traffic data for July,” The Associated Press reports.

“The research firm said Wednesday that Yahoo Inc.’s websites saw 196.6 million unique U.S. visitors last month,” AP reports, “while Google’s sites had 192.3 million.”

“It’s hard to say if July’s figures are a blip or the start of an upward trend for Yahoo” AP reports. “The company is in the midst of a turnaround orchestrated by CEO Marissa Mayer.”
