I love talking about mysterious tables. But from what I can see,
wikipedia has surpassed our former most famous internet topic by far.
I am not sure how people were counted who were looking for sex related
articles in wikipedia :)
I think that table is actually about the top search terms that
Wikipedia receives traffic from. So "Wikipedia" is used in just over
3% of searches which end up in a hit to Wikipedia, and "sex" is used
in 0.1% of searches which end up in a hit to Wikipedia.
For a measure of how many people are searching for sex as opposed to
Wikipedia, try:
http://www.google.com/trends?q=wikipedia%2C+sex
We're catching up! And while we're huge in Poland, sex is still huger.
What's still interesting though is that "sex" is still the third most
popular search term resulting in traffic to WP, after "Wikipedia" and
"wiki".
