Online porn sites get about three times more visits than the top Web search engines, including market leader Google Inc., a research firm said Thursday.

Web sites categorized as "adult" accounted for about 18.8 percent of all Internet visits by U.S. users in the week ending May 29. Meanwhile, the category that contains search engines dominated by Yahoo, MSN and Google, accounted for about 5.5 percent, according to Hitwise Inc., a California-based company that tracks Web use.
I wonder how much higher the difference would have been if they were including SM Moderator Anarchy in that study....? ;)
