Will Google Still Be Ahead of Yahoo in May?
Settled as Yes
The Inquisitr reports that traffic to Google owned sites have surpassed Yahoo for the first time (http://www.inquisitr.com/google-finally-overtakes-yahoo-by-traffic). The data from ComScore shows that Google sites had a total of 141 million visitors compared to 140.6 million for Yahoo, with much of Google's gain coming from YouTube.
Google have taken the beachhead
As Inquisitr points out when Google takes the lead in the market it generally consolidates it. Inquisitr is going to report the numbers next month.

Clarified Sun 1st Jun 11:54am PDT by nigeleccles: Just realised we are using ComScore data for this one. They didn't release their data until the 15th last month so I think the original suspend date is fine.

It's now the 3rd week of June. This should either settle (I can't find a relevant link) or void.
