Facebook Gets More U.K. Xmas Traffic Than Google

Facebook got more U.K. traffic on Christmas than Google, for the first time this year.

U.K. traffic to Facebook beat Google’s by .7 percent on Christmas day, which appears to be a first on that side of the pond.

Traffic to the world’s most popular social networking site accounted for 10.5 percent of all webpage hits in the U.K. on Christmas day, compared to 9.77 percent for Google.

Last year, Facebook had already surpassed the search behemoth in the U.S. for both Christmas eve and the day itself. This happened again on New Year’s Day, and again a couple of months later, on the second week of March 2010.
