Are they counting spam?

The rest is hardcore porn.

That's disappointing. How can we get more porn on the internet?

Obviously the market for this is underdeveloped. Time to get to work and make some money.

I've heard that porn has made billions and that it wouldn't have come as fast without porn at the beginning.

I call shenanigans

Wonder how that compares to, say, 10 years ago. Now that the Internet is very mainstream, almost every business (and even a lot of individuals) have websties. Back in its infancy, I'd wager the proportion was quite a bit higher. That's just a guess though, since the article didn't mention any previous numbers.

Sex sells! Always has, always will!

Yup, the porn industry (and demand for porn) really accelerated the Web's development in the earlier years.

When you think how vast and enourmous the internet is 1% seems like a heck of a lot.

Rumor has it that the internet is not the only thing that this statement holds true for.

Time to set up that webcam in my basement. "Goonsex.com" has a nice ring to it!

yea - i can buy that only 1% of websites are porn. but a much much higher % of content (data amounts - GB) on the internet is porn i'd bet.
