Bing is ranked #24 and Boards.ie is #36. How did this even happen?

I was going to say that I'm surprised Pornhub is used more than boards too but that would be a lie..

brandon_flowers · 20-10-2013 04:21PM

IE default search engine for many I would guess.

Pushtrak · 20-10-2013 04:23PM

I'm surprised Adverts is more popular than boards. I thought it primarily would be boards people who use adverts.

Niall558 · 20-10-2013 04:25PM

Same as myself! It's an interesting list though.

Muise... · 20-10-2013 04:26PM

only 2 places ahead of independent.ie - ouch.

20-10-2013 04:26PM

Internet Explorer users I'd assume. Default search engine as well as MSN.com being the default homepage in IE.

MJ23 · 20-10-2013 04:27PM

Ha ha xhamster is number 26. Dirty feckers.

wexie · 20-10-2013 04:27PM

Who still uses Yahoo?

Sparks43 · 20-10-2013 04:27PM

Google.pl in 15th

Thought all the poles fecked off

Cheap fights and handy dole money means they only have to be here once a week.

Weren't there loads of torrent sitez on these lists years ago??

Peregrine · 20-10-2013 04:33PM

IE default and maybe Windows Phones.

I actually find that list hard to believe. Surely there are more Pornhub viewers than XHamster?

Specialun · 20-10-2013 04:35PM

Jeez we do watch alot of porn dont we

Not far beyond the bloody stone age.

Ask.com is #23?

Wtf?

20-10-2013 04:53PM

My guess is clueless people with toolbar crapware. Ask is bundled with so many things nowadays.

Trying to change attitudes is a serious challenge. The amount of people who enter URLs into Google/Bing search boxes is unreal. They seem to act as if Google is the internet.

Wibbs · 20-10-2013 05:43PM

I seem to remember Boards being ranked higher than RTE a couple of years back or did I get that wrong?

Plus how do you measure such a thing? EG Boards is gonna be much higher ranking in personal interactivity than a site like google for example.

More popular than the Indo and Mail though.

Not sure if that's good, now I think about it.

funt cucker · 20-10-2013 05:54PM

We have an addiction to porn over here by the looks of it.

Mr. CooL ICE · 20-10-2013 05:55PM

There are certain 'adult' sites I have never heard of until I saw that list*

*this was typed with one hand

P_1 · 20-10-2013 05:56PM

Hmm going by that list it seems that Bet365 are Ireland's online bookie of choice.

also reddit finds itself sandwiched between ask.fm and a porno site

padd b1975 · 20-10-2013 06:06PM

A lot of boards.ie users seem to have an inflated sense of this site's relevance in Irish society.
Most people look at me in a state of bewilderment whenever I bring it up in conversation.

After Hours is another few notches higher again in the smugness department.

AlanS181824 · 20-10-2013 06:27PM

I love the way Google.pl is on the list. Also, there's quite a lot of porn on there... Hmm....

hfallada · 20-10-2013 06:33PM

I seriously question how accurate that ranking is. There is about 10,000 brazilians in Ireland. But yet google.br is number 84. But yet there is no sites listed for all the Czech , Romanians and Chinese and there is tons of them here

AlanS181824 · 20-10-2013 06:39PM

Looking through other countries it's very interesting to see. Saudi Arabians seem to enjoy their porn and torrenting for example! Also interesting that Google.com.br is popular in Ireland too! Didn't know there were many Brasillians here.

Exactly. For some reason, a lot of Boardsies seem to think that Boards is the official "voice" of Ireland.

In reality, its a safe haven for the more, shall we say, alternative, voices of Irish people.

McQuaid needs to rise from his tomb and start cutting some cables. This country is a disgrace.

So Bing.com is used more in Ireland over Boards. How?!?!?!
