UK Facebook Stats [GRAPHS] - 1 for every 6 page views in July!

August 9th - Provided by Hitwise Intelligence

Facebook is the second most visited website in the UK: in July it accounted for 7.14% of all UK Internet visits and over half (54.48%) of all visits to a social networking websites. In terms of total visits it continues to trail Google UK (9.59% market share in July) and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, using the measure of total page views rather than visits, Facebook is way ahead. As the table below illustrates, the social network accounted for 16.73% of UK page views during July. In other words: last month, 1 in every 6 Internet pages viewed in the UK was a Facebook page.

Will we see Facebook's market share increase in the UK or is this as high as it's ever going to be?
