    It probably won't come as a surprise that Google is attributed with being the single greatest source of Internet traffic on Earth. The company reportedly accounts for a whopping 6% of all Internet traffic -- much of which comes from its popular video sharing site YouTube. What is surprising, however, is how consolidated the Web's traffic has become.

    Well I've never looked at porno sites myself, but have heard of it. :p And from what my FRIENDS tell me, it's evolving into small independently hosted sites. Some gal who thinks she's hot takes a few pictures of herself, hosts her own site, asks people to pay to see more pics and they do it. A far cry from the early days where FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, there were only professional sites to go to. ;)

    Interesting figures though. Be curious to see where spam e-mails fit into those Internet traffic figures.

    99% of site owners will tell you that Google is their #1 referrer by far.

    This story refers to Internet traffic as a whole, meaning that 6% of all Internet traffic goes through Google and its properties. What I referred to as an additional fact is that 99% of websites (including TechSpot) receive more traffic via Google than through any other external third party site linking to them.

    I believe it the reason why Page and Brin are billionaires. Too much traffic too much money.
