Not necessarily. You'd need to add together the statistics for google.comand google.com.mt. That would make hi5.com the second most popular of course, which isn't a major consolation... it means that the Maltese population primarily use google to search for hi5 :)
I had no doubt that google would be the most popular search engine, but it's not easy to differentiate between, say, people who use google (or yahoo etc) for search, or mail, or videos, etc. Now if we had a ranking of the most popular search terms, that would be more interesting. I wonder how far down the list would be the first non-pornographic query :D Ramon On 20/09/2007, Anton Xuereb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > so you're saying that hi5.com is the most popular site in malta ? wtF????? > no wonder everyone is so brain dead... > > jesus christ get out and socialise :'( > > On 9/20/07, Victor Jerlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > Hi, > > > > I highly doubt that they care about the carriage return sign, especially > > since > > HTML doesn't really respect a single new line-char unless it's within a > > <pre>-tag > > or something like that anyway. > > > > If you are to believe Alexa (http://www.alexa.org/), Google is way more > > popular > > than Yahoo in Malta. > > > > 1.
