How did some of these websites end up so big:

http://mywebsearch.com/ <- dead site http://www.babylon.com/ http://www.conduit.com/

Above is just a sample of sites which have very large logos, and I think they should not, because they are either dead, or can't be possibly as popular as say, the BBC site.

Other then that, it looks like it's time to start learning Mandarin, from the looks of it it's quickly becoming the number 2 language on the web. I got English (1) and Russian (3) covered :)

I believe conduit produces one of those adware toolbar plugins that get installed when you install utorrent, etc. It will also attempt to change your browser home page as well. I'm assuming that very few hits to conduit.com are actually intentional.

Yup, conduit is adware.

fc2.com is almost as big as pinterest? Yeah, not sure about the accuracy here.

fc2.com is really massive in Japan, it shows up in my (japanese language) google search with a very high frequency. And since it's Alexa data we're talking about here, it probably makes a difference that IE usage is still relatively high in Japan.

fc2, from the times I've come across it, feels like it's somewhere between blogspot and tumblr in size. I don't know how big pinterest is compared to those two, but fc2 feels big.
