Online Gambling Still Most Popular

May 7, 2008

No matter what the government does, they cannot stop their residents from participating in online gambling. The United States government has done everything in their power to try and convince their residents that online gambling is just plain bad for you, and when that didn’t work, they tried making them think it was illegal.

But residents are still gambling, and still looking for online gambling sites. According to ZDNet’s statistics for February and March of this year, not only are people still participating in online gambling, but the sheer numbers of people who are still participating in online gambling is growing.

In fact, the statistics show that the interest in online gambling has grown 14% over the last two months – which puts them in third place among popular searches. They went from 11,082 in February to 12,592 in March.

Most of those searching for online gambling sites are using Google to do so, with Yahoo! coming in a distant second. They are then followed by MSN, AOL, and Ask.com.

They found that the majority of people would also click on the first entry of the online gambling search results. If they did not choose the first entry, they would choose one on the first page, with the number drastically dropping for those located on the second, third, and fourth pages respectively.
