Yahoo has topped Google as the most visited website in the U.S. last month, according to the latest report from comScore.

Yahoo received 196.6 million unique visitors last month, compared to 192.3 million for Google. This is the first time Yahoo has returned to the top spot for U.S. web traffic since May 2011, comScore tells Marketing Land.

The traffic haul does not include data from Tumblr, acquired by Yahoo earlier this year for $1 billion, says comScore.

Yahoo's return to the top is another victory during the tenure of Marissa Mayer, who recently marked her first year as the company's CEO. Shares of Yahoo have nearly doubled in value since she took over.

Uh oh. The Mountain View Ad Company may not sell as many boner pill web ads this month.

1. My understanding is that the "Mountain View Ad Company" feeds you ads based on your browsing history

2. Ah, but if you look at middle-age 'guy things' like muscle cars, classic rock, health advice...

...and such, Google's spy system makes assumptions.

Anyway, I don't see their ads. Adblock and no Flash installed makes the Internet a pleasure.

4. They are very annoying, it's why I keep Javascript off.

Esp. the personal ads. Butt out of my sex life, unless I inquire of you first.

3. Gee, who could have predicted this? nt

5. I've noticed several times

starting in July that my google link suddenly switched to a yahoo link leaving me to switch it back.

6. Google does context-based advertising so if you get a lot of ads for boner pills....

got to wonder what you are searching for.
