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:
how do I buy

look at what comes up
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.

That can't be true. All I get is goat porn related stuff...

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?

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

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 Cheesy.

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.

I get "How do I buy on ebay" as my first response.

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.

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