According to Comscore’s July statistics, Gmail enjoyed a 25% boost in visitors, making it the third largest web mail service provider.

It was considered a close shave as it knocked AOL out of third position with 37 million visitors, just 0.6 million more than the latter’s 36.4 million visitors.

Yahoo remains unthreatened by its rivals to be the top provider, bagging 106 million unique visitors in July. Expectedly, the number 2 position goes to Window Live Hotmail with 47 million visitors.

Why Google Rocks

There are many reasons that can explain Gmail’s success. With its account, one is free to access Google’s powerful products available on the web .

Also, Gmail offers great storage space, spam filters, mobile access, tags for easy searching and speed. Since it’s launch in 2004, Gmail’s has been progressing faster than expected; it has recently removed its “beta” designation with the hope to serve more businesses.

Gmail is rising fast up the ranks with the help of Google’s innovations. Yahoo and Hotmail on the other hand, have yet to come up with anything new recently.

Would Gmail be able to knock the 2 major players out of their ranks? We’ll see.
