Apple Had More Web Traffic Than Wal-Mart in November

Hard as it might be to believe, Apple attracted more online visitors in the United States during November than Wal-Mart.

According to a comScore press release first noted by Ad Age, Apple’s Web properties saw more than 79 million U.S. unique visitors last month. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart saw nearly 59 million.
