Porn websites 3 times more popular than search engines

Porn websites had more than three times the visitors of the major search engines combined during the last week in May, says Hitwise.

According to Melbourne, Australia-based Web-tracking firm Hitwise, visits to the top three search sites--Google, Yahoo, and MSN Search--accounted for just 5.5 percent of all Internet site visits during the week ending May 29.

Porn sites, lumped by Hitwise into a category appropriately dubbed “Adult,” received 18.8 percent of all Web visits in the same period.

When all search and directory sites--including those such as AskJeeves and MSN.com--are combined, the porn-versus-search skew doesn't look so bad.

Overall, search engines and directories accounted for 13.8 percent of the total Net visits during the week.
