That's kind of fascinating. Just looking around a bit, it seems very common in most parts of the world covered to search for one's own nationality as the most common term (Norwegians looking for Norway, Argentines looking for Argentina, etc). Americans seem to look for genres like teen, lesbian, mom, bbw, etc. Even big states like CA, NY, or TX don't seem interested in searching for people from their own states.

I don't know how representative the samples are, nor how correct my impression is, but I found it interesting.

I'm guessing that this site is biggest in one country (USA?) and alot of those other countries have small sample sets to go on. Searches in many non-US countries are very specific to one porn star, which seems odd.

Would need data on traffic by country to clarify that. If this kind of thing is important to you, that is...

Checked out some European countries and most seemed to have reasonable results until I got to Iceland. The results from Iceland do indeed suggest the sample set is way too small for some regions.
