We visit several websites every day, such as Google, Tiktok, and Instagram, all of which are based in other countries with varying levels of popularity.
New ranking by Visual Capitalist shows which websites get the most traffic internationally, with just one Canadian site, Pornhub, in the top 15 (or top 50) . Still, many people around the world seem to be turning to another adult site.
Based in Montreal, the adult site ranked 13th with 2.5 billion views, but lost out to Czech Republic’s Xvideo, which ranked 11th with 2.8 billion views. French site XNXX was his 14th place with 2.3 billion views for the year.
According to the ranking, which pulls website traffic data from SimilarWeb, “They are often referred to as ‘tube sites’ because they are built on the YouTube model.
YouTube is not a bad model to follow. The streaming site placed him at number two on the list with his 33 billion views, surpassed by Google search engine, which dominated the top spot with over 85 billion views.
The top 25 included the most social media giants. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram ranked third, fourth and fifth respectively, followed by What’s App (10), Tiktok (18), Reddit (20) and Russian platform VK (25). .
More than half of the world’s most-visited sites are in the US, and tech giants like Alphabet (Google), Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and Amazon run about half of them. Russia, China and Japan show his second highest number of sites.
Perhaps Canada could have devised other ways to reach Internet dominance if it hadn’t been distracted by the only site on the list.
