Facebook Traffic Soars
Posted by Nick O'Neill on July 5th, 2007 6:25 PMComscore has released statistics that shows a 15 percent growth in unique visitors to Facebook last month. This doesn’t come as surprising news but it is still very impressive. The past month is not the only growth that has taken place. Since Facebook opened up their registration to the general public, the site has experienced explosive growth. A quick look at the chart below shows that unique visitors has grown a whopping 100 percent since September. If Facebook growth predictions are accurate the site should reach a whopping 100 million users early next year.
Also of particular interest is data that shows a massive jump in teenagers and users between the ages of 25-34. Perhaps even more impressive is the growth in users that are 35 and up. Apparently those that are within the oldest demographic represent the majority of users on Facebook. So to all you kiddies out there that are looking for a playground free of adults, Facebook may not be the place for you. Conversely, I haven’t heard too many complaints about there being too many old people on the site. Maybe I don’t hang in the right crowd to know about that though. I’m also surprised that almost 50% of Facebook users a year ago were 35 and up.
Facebook is definitely poised for rapid growth. It will be exciting to watch the growth take place. Rest assured that I will be giving full coverage the entire time!

I’m surprised as well about the amount of 35+ users on FB. It seems a little fishy to me.
