I'm rather surprised--which is to say, calling bullshit--that no porn sites (any of the $TUBE network) shows up on this.

- Dirlewanger 12y agoProbably because most of the data comes from comScore who, like Alexa, gets their data from a self-selected sample size. We're ever going to get truly accurate results this way. Of course, I'm sure if the NSA put its mind to it (not happening), they could get a fairly accurate readout of the most popular sites for the US...
- angersock 12y agoI wonder how you'd collect that...log every DNS lookup at the ISP level? Surely they already do this.
- evandena 12y agoI don't have an answer for you, but a simple DNS lookup at the ISP wouldn't get you the whole picture. Lot's of local/LAN DNS caching.
- pkhagah 12y agoProbably count tcp/http connection to sites at ISP? Of course it's not easy or accurate for us. Not NSA ;) Another option for conspiracy theorists is to just get data from apache logs etc., because, you know, NSA has access to everything.
- blumkvist 12y agoYou don't need the NSA to get that info. There are plenty of companies who aggregate data from ISPs.
- new299 12y agoReally? Does that data get made available in market reports?
- technofire 12y agoIt seems you've overlooked "Penthouse" near the bottom of the list in 1996.
- Gustomaximus 12y agoIt's likely they clean these sites out. I know a company doing a similar report did this. In reality 3 or 4 of the top 10 sites were porn. Also I found interesting gay porn seemed to be very over represented on mobile internet, about 20%-ish of top porn sites. I found this interesting as in a male world you would expect this to be about 10% so it seemed either gay males watch much more porn or as I assumed, guys would have a look on their phones as this was more private to have a curiosity look...??
