Both Google and the second-leading property, Microsoft, increased their number of unique visitors by two percent from April to May. The top three properties each boasted more than 20 average visits per visitor in May: Google with 27, Microsoft with 23, and Yahoo! with 22. Apple was 10th in the ranking with 121.5 million unique visitors in May and an average of 15.7 visits per visitor. Growth was much higher among less popular site. In the top 100 the fastest growing was retailer Ciao with a 31.0 percent increase in unique visitors to 29.6 million. According to comScore this was "brought about in large part by the occurrence of Mother's Day and the onset of the summer holiday season."
