Top YouTube Searches: Hip-Hop and Sex
Written by Matt Pace (contact - e-mail) -- April 21st, 2008 | Recommend ThisThose worried that our country is swiftly going to hell in a hand basket will find little comfort in the list below.
In just over two years, YouTube has skyrocketed in popularity to become a dominant part of our popular culture. Over 62 million Americans, or 1 in 3 people online in the U.S., visited YouTube in March. What types of videos are all these people looking for on the site?
The table below lists the 10 of the 25 most popular search terms on YouTube.com last month. In addition to the prevalence of sex related terms, YouTube is used by many as a convenient way to view music videos on-demand. In essence it’s an inexpensive, albeit limited, version of iTunes.
Follow the link to see the complete list of top YouTube search terms in March, and while you’re there, be sure to check out other interesting data Compete has made available on our recently launched “Data Hub.”

This goes to show that it is NOT the quantity of the visitors - but the quality.
In terms of income and education - these visitors probably are not in the top median of society.
The amount of money they spend online may be limited to minor items and most probably only use free services.
The only things that appear interest them are sex, Hip Hop, comedy and violence - nothing of an intellectual nature. Certainly no interest in the highly valuable online courses or news sites
Perhaps those who made the the Jeff Dunham and Mariah Carey queries are the most sophisticated out of that bunch
