Pakistan maintains top slot in Google search for 'sex'
According to a 2010 Fox News report, Pakistan had outranked all countries in Google searches for pornographic terms last year. Narrowing the analytics for the search term to just 2011, Pakistan maintained the number one position, followed by India and Vietnam.
Islamabad featured in the top 10 cities worldwide to search the word 'sex' in September and December 2011.
Provincial capital Lahore also featured in the top 10 cities for the months of January, March, April, May, June, July, September, October, November and December 2011.
The months of February and August (Ramazan) were the only two months in 2011 that did not feature any cities from Pakistan in the global ranking.
How does Google Trends work?
Google Trends analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms entered, relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time.
To rank the top regions, cities, or languages, Google Trends first looks at a sample of all Google searches to determine the areas or languages from which they received the most searches for the first term. Then, for those top cities, Google Trends calculates the ratio of searches for the term coming from each city divided by total Google searches coming from the same city.
The city ranking and the bar charts alongside each city name both represent this ratio.
Google Trends uses IP address information from server logs to make a best guess about where queries originated.

@bangash
Don't you understand mathematics? Google trends works by taking the ratio of the total searches of a particular word with the overall search in a particular region.
So if in india somebody searched for a word 'foo' 100 times and the overall search from india was 100000 then still it will be lower then pakistan if pakistan searched for the word 'foo' 10 times and overall search was 20.
It means more percentage of pakistanis search for these words. Got the logic?
yea Pakistan is No 1 in searching for education as well...go to google trends and check..
Vietnam being mod as well..Big thing for em !
If only they told us the person with the most searches!!! Sigh..
@Sherry: Pakistanis claim to be very religious people. Google seraches shows what is on their mind.
Can't any one read a bar graph any more it is Pakistan followed by Vietnam followed by India.followed by Egypt etc.
@Devil in the Detail: Poignant assessment.
Has anybody taken the chronic load shedding factor in many cities into consideration?
I'd like to mention two points. First is the lack of education in poor countries, due to which most of the people even don't know the long-term effects of these rubbish things. Secondly, I'd like to see this issue in the light of my own relogion, ''ISLAM''. How can we say that our reigion allows us to see these things? Islam gives us a path according to which we can easily pass a peacefull life in the world. Now-a-days we've forgot all our true teachings of ''ISLAM'' and it's the main reason of our down-falling in the developing world. We ought to be faithful to our religion, otherwise we'll always suffer.
In cities stats, out of Top 10 cities, 8 belong to India...!! so Technically, Pakistan did exceptionally well to reach the top even with such intense competition from India.
I was just wondering if these statistics are per capita/percentage, or just a base value. I agree with what someone said...there is no way that Pakistan with 10 million internet users could be the United States.
Its not possible and the reasons are quite obvious. First of all almost 50% ofthe internet users are organizational and corporate, where searching for orn is not possible or atleast very difficult. Then comes the number of institutional users like colleges, universities etc. There also, its quite difficult to search for such terms. In the end around 10-20% are home based users where a majority of childrena dnteenagers are constantly monitored by their parents. So its quite in contrast with the rest of the developed world, even India, where the internet use is quite common and not very strictly monitored.
Its a shame for the whole of our nation that we are not progressing in any other matter of life but morally corrupt activities. Seems we have a lot of spare time for such things. It should not be taken simply as a joke or false sense of pride but this is in fact an alarming situation related to the ever growing deterioration of our society. What are we leaving for our children ??....... A morally corrupt society in the end ?? Think about it or you all be looser in history.
@Imran You are so Imranized that you leave no chance in pointing a finger at PTI.Pakistan also ranks very high in birth rate.Now make a connection to Imran Khan by saying that PTI's tsunami is motivating the people to produce more children.Shame on your thinking!
Only because we don't follow Islam. That may sound upside down, but it is the way it is.
@Baber:
Shocked to read the google report...the article is misleading...Thanks Baber for awareness...
I deem the credit goes to ISPs to facilitate the internet service at cheaper cost & shiny speed:)
@Mard-e-Haq: It means Pakistan scored 6 times more than India.
Out 10, 6 are Muslim countries. What wrong with Muslims. 4 belongs to mixed(1 Buddhist, 2 Christans, India(Hindu+ Muslims))
@Naveed Javed: Except for a whole load of politically-oriented jokes about Veena 'declaring her assets' etc. nobody in Pakistan really cared about Veena Malik. The woman's a crazed, attention-seeking person and Pakistanis are largely tired of her antics. It was the Indian Muslim clerics who passed fatwas on her...!
Its actually positive as long as the search is on wikipedia :)
@Mard-e-Haq: Darling, size matters. We are more than 5 times you! But you still beat us!!
@Baber: don't bother Fox news ... that's what the do best
yeh cheez. pakistan zindabad
Pakistanis are also on the top in searching word "Quran" . Islamabad,Karachi,Lahore are on the top 3 slots , and Pakistan & its 3 cities have far better figures than its 2nd and 3rd competitors (Bangladesh,Morocco) in all years category. its very sad that this nation is always ready to accept any negative criticism and even sometimes unproven allegation (andha eeeman le ate hn ) without doing any confirmation or research .
@IndianDude google cant get access to chinese data and you got, thats why u r announcing china#1.. amazing
Sorry but I can't believe this. At most 10 million people have Internet in Pakistan, in no way can they compete in search terms with US/Canada.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKJ2Ah4FUzI&feature=related Just watch this video guys, we are making fun here... what US media is playing with us, you guys dunt know... We are very stupid nation indeed.. dunt mind
Veena malik will be laughing out loud when she reads this. I suspect that she already knows the hypocrisy of the society and this report is just confirmation of that hypocrisy.
Out of the Frying Pan...and....Into the FIRE !
If you go on Youtube there are hundereds of videos of Pakistani actresses in which their bra strap is visible by mistake and thousands of Pakistani men leave extremely perverted comments underneath it. I mean what can you expect from a nation which gets excited by bra straps?
We all know that these results aren't precise even confirmed by Google but still you report it
Congrats we are #1 again, i wonder if positions starts from (0) then we stand on that (0) position. only need is for AWARENESS which is not available in our country because all time we Pakistanies are busy in so called Politics & Politicians.
Brothers and sisters, it is not a matter of debate. It is not important that either we stand in the top 10 or top 50. Important thing is that when we have been told to stay away from these things why are we getting more into it. There was a time when a small sin counts on true muslims as a weight of mountains but now we take these sins so lightly and igore them. I came across a story of one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad (PHBU). who commited a sin of that kind and then see how he repented and asked forgiveness. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRq2Sfg77dA&feature=share
Has anyone even seen the statistics closely?
In the top Cities section, atleast 8 cities from INDIA are mentioned to have greatest hits and yet to sum it up they do not make INDIA number 1? How is it even possible, considering the population ratio between the two countries and the ratio of internet users?
Really google? Again?
becareful its fox news 100% against pakistan , pak is their target . u can think of it for a moment bcoz technically its not possible , how could pakistan surpass india , brazil , china etc with less internet access to the people. even pak is short of electricity
This is So Lame !! How even the reporter can even think this might be correct!! so we can now publish any rubbish here???
"The best propaganda omits rather than invents": Masan Cooley :) lets talk in figures; Pakistan where 60% (112.5 million) of total population (187.5 million) inhabits in rural areas.. where total number of internet users are "JUST 20.43 MILLION".. can it topple up really in this regard? :) from whom? CHINA where internet users are "485 MILLION"? or USA where internet users are "245 MILLION"? or INDIA with "100 MILLION"? or JAPAN with "99 MILLION"? or BRAZIL with "75 MILLION" :) it was really disappointing to see many of the readers not understanding the underlying propaganda...
Irrelevant statistics, ET has failed to put any research in their article yet again.
Actually, this is a function of vocabulary really. Go to google trends and use different words and see what the results are.
@Muhammad Muzafar: So you're saying there is a trade imbalance here?
@Paki-Australian: you are doing wrong by blaming mullahs for your own weaknesses. man is made strong and he should get married, if he has needs, don't use ill methods for your pleasure and make yourself vicarious human.
The other side ... Pakistan is top google user.
May Allah (SWT) give hidayat to all Pakistanis. (aameen)
Pakistan has been ranked first in searching the word "EDUCATION" as well.. STOP!! promoting the negative sides of everything..
Another lame news to malign Pakistan..
@Waqar: Agreed
False fasle fasle, this research is flawed have a look at this http://t.co/RXAWGQl2
P.S. Look at this comment by Tariqhl: Amazingly Pakistan also tops the google trends in “Education” and Teachers” searches globally…….Does anyone have any explanation for that. It justifies everythiing.
Errrrrrrrrrrr
@Mard-e-Haq:
Brother, if you consider Indian population and internet penetration, India is far behind Pakistan. Well anyways, I accept defeat. Pakistan wins :)
Well one things for sure that we have respect for the month of Ramadan. We all can atleast pray that the month of blessings may change hearts and mind of us all. After all its a mortal who makes mistakes.
This looks very credible because it comes from Google Trends, a website dedicated to check out all the search trends. There, you may also compare few terms. For example, you may want to compare Pakistan vs India to know exactly how many people searched for Pakistan vs India, and so on. I checked this trending three days back and found the same results. Pakistan tops such a search. Atleast we top something!
how easily we try to undermine our own people ... and taking this search so seriously does anyone knows or have any proof that how authentic it is ? @ sadiah i agree with you pakistani cant be loving bollywood songs more then indians they are mad this all research is fake ..........
Molvis (relegious Leaders) tell u the reality after death in light of Quran & Sunnah that if u abstain from doing sins then you will be awarded Jnnah (Paradise). Pls. read Sur-e-Rehman & Sur-e-Waqiya with translation & tafseer. God Bless u with peaceful soul
*They have given the data of "searching" only. They should give the data of those countries as will who mostly "upload" the videos. *
lol
is this a liberty looking for by our liberals?????
Thanks to us liberals!
Pakistan also maintains top slot in google search for 'poetry' ... that's some aesthetics
http://www.google.com/trends?q=poetry
@ the LOW IQ INDIANS laughing at us,
pls read the article carefully, the findings are relative, i.e based on percentage of total searches. it is not an absolute figure. can you not do simple arithematics.....
@wise counsel.: you have to read the complete blog before commenting on it,, it says that total number of specific search divided by total number all searches from same area,,, so population dont have any affect on it,,,,
And we call ourselves land of pure!!!!
Seriously Express Tribune, stop pretending to be a newspaper and come out as a tabloid. Even Google says that Google Trends is not be trusted.
And given it is coming fron FOX NEWS Report, it must be the absolute truth.
lol. Now I understand how Veena malik got motivation
@Samad India has more cities than Pakistan in general, not to mention that India's total population is more than six times that of Pakistan.
Spreading love strong text
its totally fake...its not possible... do not just believe what others are saying...
its totally fake...do not just believe what the media says...
O my goodness. Now west should avoid calling Pakistanis as fundamentalist. This shows how people liberals in our country. bravo everybody enjoying their own trends.
This is shameful.
Fox News report republished by Tribune.
Just read between the lines and understand. Why am I not surprised?
@TrueMuslim: Also see the positive side. Pakistan ranks either 1st or 2nd in the searches like Biotechnology, Physics, Education, Teacher, Research, Textile, Engineering, Agriculture, Zoology…………. and many more. http://www.google.com/trends
Google Trends is far from being accurate!
Fox News reports are far from being truthful in many cases!
Also see the positive side. Pakistan ranks either 1st or 2nd in the searches like Biotechnology, Physics, Education, Teacher, Research, Textile, Engineering, Agriculture, Zoology............. and many more. http://www.google.com/trends
At least we Pakistani reached on top! :P
Can you ever include some positive news in your paper? What about the fact that for 'education' and 'university' Pakistan is the top searcher in Google?
Shame shame to all of above and to Pakistan!
Always highlight the negative. Good job Pakistani news paper.
technically speaking google trends is always incorrect.. "Google Trends uses IP address information from server logs to make a best guess about where queries originated".... and that is why ISB and LHR are listed.. because PTCL and Mobilink IP addresses are registered in ISB and Wateen and LDN addresses are registered in LHR... :) their algo sucks big time.. no body around the world cares about google trends.. but ofcourse we do..
Dear Indian Friend, please check the Google trends, out of 10 cities 7 belongs to India, so congratulation from our side for doing marvelous work :)
Then why the hala-gulla about Veena Malik's recent photos. Is local talent not appreciated?
@Sohail Rizki: :))))) whispering ....check out who watches bollywood movies maximum...lol.shhhhhhh!!!!
Pakistan is among top ten countries in search of Universities, Engineering, Medical Sciences, Teachers, Scholarships, Fashion, jobs, etc.....what about that??
@Baber: Yeah I agree with you.
The editor needs to investigate before publishing. All they want is just to make headlines, they don't care what impact it would have on the society. Shame on them.
Pakistan also tops the list for the word "jobs"
So what?
We totally rule mannnn ;)) we Pakistanis have our needs too u know hahahaha
Pakistan is far far ahead than any country searching for "indian songs" How is this even possible? don't indian search for their own songs? http://www.google.com/trends?q=indian+songs&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all&sort=0
i have checked Pakistan also tops in searching for "songs". i don't think Pakistanis love music more than Indians.
Its a Fake Report Guys Its Imposible
Btw population size has been taken into account because the rank is calculated by dividing the number of searches for the term by the total number of google searches from that area. So it is a relative measure rather than an absolute one.
It is not Pakistan only five out of ten countries are Muslim majority countries.
really shame on us.
How can you people point out Veena for all what she has done; Hypocrites!!
Oh common i mean go to google insights. Pakistan isnt on 1st they are on 5th number :P
lollllllllllllllllll we are just watching and the other countries are making so no need to worry !!!! we are not involved in real bad things.
Well, the previous one was fake though. (reported by Fox i think) Let see thing in different perspectives...
What a shame...PTA pls wak-up..
Why so much fuss about it? Had it been in some western country, it would have been termed as a basic human need but here..... Get over it.
@muhammad behzad
Atleast looking for in the walls of their homes ... not displaying their assests to the world :)
... which nation had issues with Veena Malik again?
Where is Karachi???
Amazingly Pakistan also tops the google trends in "Education" and Teachers" searches globally.......Does anyone have any explanation for that.
@wise counsel & IndianDude,
I was just pointing to yet another fraternal bond here:-) I do not deny the stats.
Oh I see... It was this Tsunami Imran was talking about!
Congratulations Pakistan.
We must make love, not war.
Good grief.
God bless PAKISTANI women
To relieve oneself is not only a basic human need, it's healthy and helps a human function per normal. Don't let the mullahs tell you otherwise.
@Mard-e-Haq: hullo mister....compare 1.2 billion population : 200 million.Shame !!
Atleast we came No.1 in something
Hahahaha. Pakistan is closely followed by India. So, the South Asian brothers do share similar tastes in forbidden, vicarious pleasures.
yeh cheez.
