Google ranks Pakistan No. 1 in the world in searches for certain terms, outranking every other country in the world in searches per person for certain sex-related content.
Google Trends generates data of popular search terms in geographic locations during specific time frames. Google Insights is a more advanced version that allows users to filter a search to geographic locations, time frames and the nature of a search, including web, images, products and news.
Pakistan ranked No. 1 in all the searches listed above on Google Trends, but on only some of them in Google Insights.
“We do our best to provide accurate data and to provide insights into broad search patterns, but the results for a given query may contain inaccuracies due to data sampling issues, approximations, or incomplete data for the terms entered,” Google said in a statement, when asked about the accuracy of its reports.
In addition to banning content on 17 websites, Pakistan is monitoring seven other sites, Google, Yahoo, Bing, YouTube, Amazon, MSN and Hotmail, for anti-Islamic content.
The country’s punishment for those charged with blasphemy is execution, but the question remains what, if anything, can be done about people who search for such content on the Web.

lolz.. Amazing, especially considering the fact that its barely close to the most populated countries!
it’s not about the people who search in the web,
it’s about the result, what you will find if you search about Islam in foxnews ?
woooooooo …….. not so impressive fox news ………can any one tell me if pakistanis are topping these searches from 2004 then why these figures are published in 2010 specially after only Pakistanis showing resistance and reaction against the hate content on face book bing google and other site.
Pakistan is the 6th largest nation of world with a population of appx 17 crores with internet users not more than 3 crores now just compare with India they have a population of more than 100 crores so much more internet users and so on……. i dont beleive the report .
also one should be not so decisive in making the decisions ……. there are softwares available in the market that changes your location, as people uses in countries which have strict monitoring on internet like Saudia. People used these softwares to use face book in Pakistan during the days it was banned recently ……:(
The Fox News attribution sort of dampens its credibility. Still, glad America didn’t show up on any of these.
