is bitcoin bigger than we (or i) think, as it is often referred to or insinuated that it is only used by relatively few people. From looking at the alexa ranking for some of the bitcoin sites, they are much higher than i would have expected (i am very pleased to see this!). bitcointalk.org is 5,158 most popular site in the world. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcointalk.orgCoinDesk is around 20,000 which is not bad for a news site on BitCoin that supposedly does not have too many followers. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/coindesk.combitcoin.org is 8,924 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/bitcoin.orgmtgox.com is 9,292 http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/mtgox.comall 4 above sites are climbing fast too (much faster than most sites)! From my limited experience of Alexa rankings, i would say that the above sites must take multiple-millions of page views and unique visitors per day. Just thought i would share this.... Ford |

I think that Bitcoin is as big as I think it is - a $2B economy with >10K businesses and hundreds of thousands of users. Based on data from http://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.org, it looks like the forum gets about 1M pageviews per day. Google:

You do know that Google search results and autocomplete are targeted? If you look at Bitcoin all day, it will give you Bitcoin-related results... It has little to do with Bitcoin's popularity. |

Interesting because i dont look at stocks or houses. so i guess they weigh targeting against most common searches? |

Buying Bitcoins does show up forth on my list though.
First on my list seems to be 'a handjob.' How bizarre. Clicking on it shows instructions starting with acquiring BTC though so I guess Bitcoin really is taking off. |
sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

I do, but I found out that was in the top searches after I told my buddy about Bitcoin and he wanted to know how to buy them he said that was the top in his search. |

Many of the users of Bitcoin will be using it because they want to remain anonymous, so of course the general public and news outlets aren't going to pick up as easily on this, you'll still be able to find activity but you won't be able to locate where they're all from unless they want it. Even though the traffic is only tiny even my website is getting some people poking around using up the bandwidth and they don't all seem to be bots, at least I hope not  . |

Actually, autocomplete for me was "how do I buy bitcoin" and I typically block google-analytics with NoScript.

That's pretty impressive. Is there a way to see how many times search terms involving the word Bitcoin were done, and the growth of this?
