These graphs look highly suspicious to me. According to alexa, wikipedia is having more traffic than
- heise.de (very popular German IT news ticker)
- rtl.de (Germanys most popular commercial TV station)
- fokus.de, stern.de (two popular weekly news magazines)
- bild.de (most popular Yellow Press daily newspaper)
- microsoft.de
- Britannica.com
- sex.com is only a few places before us
This all seems very unlikely to me. I think Mav and perhaps some other "power user" are using the alexa toolbar and their many hits adulterate the statistics.
I'm surprised by sex.com but not the others. See my comments on meta at http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_is_more_popular_than... where I've questioned the popularity level of Encarta as well.
