Facebook accounts for 1 in 6 UK page views, but is it peaking?
Facebook is the second most visited website in the UK- in June 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 June) and, as previously highlighted, will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
However, using the measure of total page views rather than visits, Facebook is way ahead. The social network accounted for 16.73% of UK page views during June.
In other words: 1 in every 6 Internet pages viewed in the UK was a Facebook page.
Facebook continues to grow around the world (during July 2010 it reached half a billion registered users) and there is no doubt that it leads the social networking pack in the UK.
However, with 26m British users already, when will it start to reach saturation point? Facebook’s market share of UK page views has trebled over the last five years, but growth has slowed significantly over the last six months.
During July 2010 there was even a slight decline in share, but this may well be down to seasonality (the August / September back to school / college / university period is significant for Facebook).
Another metric is average time spent on the site, a key metric for user engagement on social networks.
Facebook has a very high average session time (almost half an hour) but, this has also stabilised over the last six months after increasing rapidly during the site’s ascendency.
Clearly Facebook is not losing traffic in the UK, but do these stats point to a stabilisation? The rapid period of the site’s growth is now probably over in the UK, but does that mean Facebook has reached saturation point?

14I can see that your argument is rather understanding as it contains a good deal of interesting data. Anyway, was overcurious whether you would want to exchange web links with my site, as I am looking forward to compile more web links to further broaden and gain ground for my web site. I do not mind you locating my links at the front page, just getting this web links on this particular web page is great and enough. Anyway, please contact me at my web space if you are interested in swapping links, I would really like that. Thank you very much and hopefully to get a reply from you soon!
