G'day* folks,
SDA India reports
Microsoft, Yahoo!, Google, and eBay took the top positions, however relative newcomers Wikipedia and YouTube are making a rapid climb up the World Wide Web (WWW), as per the monthly Internet snapshot, released by Comscore. Wikipedia had 154 million visitors in September, while YouTube came in number 14 with 81 million visitors.

More in story.
(Hmmm. If Youtube was worth 1.6 billion, and we have nearly twice as many visitors how much would we be worth but I digress)
Amazon had 133 million while Fox Interactive Media (presumably mostly Myspace) had 118 and Ask 112 million.
Regards to all.

Less. Our vistors likely don't stay as long.

Your statement is not refuted by the AOL search data: Lots of people clicked through to Wikipedia on a broad spectrum of search keywords, but many continued searching afterwards.
...Although we really can't be sure. In any case, you could counter your counter with the point that a large amount of the youtube traffic was visitors viewing copyright violations. :)
If anyone would be interested in seeing a list of the most popular search strings and articles where users came to Wikipedia but then continued searching... I could make one. Perhaps there are places where we should switch which of several articles is at [[name]] vs [[name (disambiguation)]] or a redirect change, or an intro rewrite might make sense.
A while back I did a list of the most popular search keywords which lack articles and we found a couple of gaping holes in our coverage.

I wouldn't mind seeing these lists, even if I'm the only one. I was out looking at the ones we have on the site the other day, but they're hideously out of date now.
