Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's more likely that their computer does. For stuff like Auto-updates.

Ahh that probably explains counduit.com at #29 as well.

And likely HP.com as well. Stupid printer drivers.

#20 - ask.com #252 - digg.com #261 - justin.tv Reddit not in the list... What I don't understand is how come sites like openoffice.org, kaspersky.com, mcafee.com are so high in the list. Do people really visit them that often?

Given how inaccurate the categorizations are I think it's possible that Reddit got put in the "adult" category.

I extracted the data, added IP, country and response headers, and dumped it into a usable format: http://openmymind.net/top1000data.txt You can do some decently interesting analysis..like the fact that nginx is the front-end for nearly as many sites as IIS.

Why is dropbox 'myth and folklore'???

Oh god, and I've been trusting them w/ my backups!!!!!

The categories of the json dump come directly from the original google source..so i don't know (and dropbox certainly isn't the only mis-categorized entry):

Could you share how you extracted the data? I thought it was nifty that way you have it in that txt file. Thanks.

They must have filtered porn. There is no way redtube.com is not in the top 100.

They did: " Keep in mind that the list excludes adult sites, ad networks, domains that don't have publicly visible content or don't load properly, and certain Google sites. "

Sorry! I must have missed that.

Keep in mind that the numbers listed are estimations.

For example, HubPages, the site where I work, is listed at #270 with 11M unique visitors and 97M page views.

Our monthly absolute unique visitors (according to Google Analytics) is more than three times that. Our monthly page views are greater than 100M.
