Facebook Delivers Repeat Customers to Print-Media Web Sites
Last week, online friendship site Facebook passed search behemoth Google as the most-trafficked U.S. Web site, drawing a 7.1% share of all U.S. Internet visits. Hitwise has put another feather in Facebook’s cap, saying that users coming to media sites from Facebook are more likely to be returning readers than those reaching a site via Google News.
