Google Traffic Back Beat Yahoo in US

Google Traffic Back Beat Yahoo in US

In the last week, comScore showed that the number of visitors to Yahoo in U.S. balanced with Google for the first time since 2011, but other researchers with an overview of his research interrupted more serious.

SimilarWeb who perform traffic analysis on the website in July, found that as many visitors as Google had 21.4 billion globally. While Yahoo had 6.8 billion visits, including 700 million to 100 million for Tumblr and Flickr. In the U.S., Google had 9.4 billion visits more than Yahoo in the whole world. Total visits to Yahoo in the U.S. as much as 2.4 billion, as reported by Mashable (26/08/2013).

The picture that comes after comScore data in July indicating that Yahoo had 196.6 million U.S. visitors compared with 192.3 million visitors Yahoo.

Visits and Visitors certainly a different matrix. Visitors can make a number of visits per month, the same as SimilarWeb statistics show. However, statistics are not the same as the page view, which calculates how many websites are seen in this period.

Daniel Buchuk, Head of brand and Startegy of SimilarWeb, thinking that the visit is a more accurate description for consumer Internet users. "ComScore really count if people visit YouTube once a month or 300 times a month," he said.

SimilarWeb is a unit of SimilarGroup based in Tel Aviv, according to figures collected data from consumers who face a browser plug-in. SimilarGroup received funding of 2.5 million dollars to strengthen SimilarWeb, because it saw as a rival Alexa web measurement tools.

Help File: Ways to recover a hacked Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo Mail account

Q: Somebody took over my Web-mail account and locked me out. How do I get back in?

A: I've heard this story from two different people in the past six weeks, one a longtime Hotmail user and the other a more recent convert to Gmail. Both had set up their accounts so long ago that they had not set up or had forgotten the usual account-rescue options -- sending a password-reset link to an alternate e-mail address or answering a designated "secret" question.
The top-three Web-mail services offer different fixes for this unpleasant scenario.

At Hotmail, a form available at http://windowslivehelp.com/passwordreset.aspx will ask for such authenticating information as your Internet provider, the date of your last successful login and the names of contacts.

At Yahoo, a password-reset form (http://edit.yahoo.com/forgot) will request your birthday, country and Zip or postal code, followed by your secret question.

And at Gmail, clicking the "Can't access your account?" linkon the Gmail login page and choosing "I think someone else is using my account" on the next page will lead to a form in which you can provide such supporting details as the month and year in which you created the account.

But if you choose a strong password -- one not shared with other accounts -- keep your computer free of viruses and don't fall prey to phishing scams, you shouldn't need to go through these workarounds.

It also helps to verify that your service has a current alternate e-mail address saved and if you opt for a backup option available at Google and Yahoo: storing your mobile-phone number to allow a password reset via text messages.
