Most popular countries in the web
This is a list of the most popular countries in the world wide web according to Google.
I made a Perl script to do this. You can obtain really interesting results with it.
How it works?
First I write or download a keyword list, for example this, a list with the names of all the countries in the world.
Then I run the script with some parameters to set how I want the Google results, the database, the table, google search parameters, etc…
The script get the Google results, parses the Google search results and save the data that I want to a MySql database, in this case the keyword and the keyword popularity in Google.
Then… I wrote this article.
Obviously this isn’t the exact measure of popularity of the countries in internet because some of them can have popularity from another sources, for example, the country named Jordan and the basketball player with the same surname. Also there are a lot of another factors who have influence over the popularity of any keyword.
You can use the online version of this tool to get the popularity of any keyword at: Keyword popularity tool
Here are the results:

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article nnial 2007 – salvatore iaconesi – del.icio.us poetry, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
France is only called France. However the UK can also be Great Britain, Britain, England etc. The Netherlands can also be called Holland. USA also America. Very clever tool though however the list doesn’t show true accuracy.
You are absolutely right Tron.
This are just interesting numbers but doesn’t reflect an accurate real popularity of each country in the web. This will take more than 30 minutes of programming and running a script.
ireland is popular than russia? thats like so not true
This report is really accurate because all the countries below rank 10 suck.
How do the countries below 10 suck? The majority of them are great countries and you’re just a close-minded person. And what’s wrong with Italy and Brazil????
Italy and brazil shouod be ranked the least popular because they suck.Specially Ytaly,because italians are stupid and evil.
singapore,malaysia, hong kong,Philippines and many more are more popular than indonesia.. indonesia is just a poor country..
shut up shithead. RESEARCH MORE. 75% of apartment owners in Singapore are Indonesians, Rich malaysian billionaires are just chinese people andyeah hong kong is definitely popular but you can join them together with China, Phillipines? heh yeah phillipines is a great country but in terms of money Indonesia is WAY richer. Many pinoys migrate here to become math or P.E teachers in schools.
Qatar is realy popular actally more than britan and india qatar is beutiful and the 2 richest country in the world u can find it in google
This list is inacurate. There is absolutly NO way Denmark could be so low. And I know for a fact Germany is actually at the top, Canada is second, and Israel is at the bottom.
This site is crap.
THIS IS SO GREAT, I ,LOVE IT.
AND I LIKE RUSSIA!
Algeria is nember 9 in the world
Ghana is More Popular than Guyana? Give Me a Break…I Hope people Know the Difference. That Ghana is In Africa and That Guyana is IN South America, and Is considered to BE CariBBean IN Culture…So tired of the Mix-up…
hope that philippines will be on top10 popular countries!!!!
PHILIPPINES IS THE MOST NUMBER ONE POPULAR COUNTRY,BECAUSE FILIPINO
I don’t know the difference between these two countries
1.USA
2.United States of America
Please mail me, if anyone knows
Are you okay? Not sick or anything? Or are you 5 years old? BECAUSE IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY LIVING IN THE USA, it’s not pretty, but VERY sad you don’t know the difference. Know why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIFF!!!!!!! OMG, Do you pay attention in SS class or wutt??? You should be VERY VERY ashamed!!!!! YOU HAVE DISGRACED THIS COUNTRY!!!!! USA=America…….. DUH!!! USA=United states of AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And even if you don’t live in the USA, it’s really sad you STILL don’t know the difference, cause America is the most powerful nation(well…. not anymore because of the Pres.) But still. If someone asked you what rank the USA was, and you said Wait, thats America, right?… You would feel so ashamed and dumb….. So I’m saving you, buddy.
Dude u racist? Obama made usa more popular.
Wow, someone is full of themselves and their country. So what if someone didn’t understand it? They just asked a question as they were unsure of themselves. From what I’ve seen of the American education system they don’t know anything about other countries so it’s funny it’s the other way around now.
the list is completely messed up. or in other words its not right.
u all know india is an emeging nation…its popularity ll be definitly within 5th….i dnt agree with above list….jai hind…
India is ranked 3rd for searching in Google.
This survey is wrong!!
Very accurate from my point of view, I will give just a 5% error margen, if you think you country its very popular you wrong…not the billons of usuaries worldwide of google.
You should be ashamed, “OMG,Baliji”, because you spelled “what” wrong. 🙂
..’really?! FRANCE is the most popular country in the whole world?! As far as I know America is the most popular country.. hay nako!.. at ‘tsaka bakit naman naulit ung USA..Nanghuhula ka lang siguro.. TONTA!!!
…..and excuse me.. r u insulting Philippines.. our population is 97M+..and in every country their are filipinos..BORACAY..you know what,where and how popular is that.. that is a beach, here in the philippines and americans,japanese,chinese,korean,singaporean, and etc. loves that beach.. see………………….i just gave only one popular tourist spot here in philippines…………………………………..
hey, cuba isn’t a popular country that philippines.
This list was created on 2007 so not surprise about stats… since from 2007 there are so many changes done. See the article publish date on top…
its just fake….india is the 3rd popular country in the world…… USA is popular than france this itself showing… this survey was fake
This is not a survey, read the complete post, understand what it is before criticize or approve the results.
DIS LIST IS BIASED… US should be at the top, Jpan somewhere around 4-8 and philliphines have SPIES… Umm i mean citizens around the globe.
Germany is in the moment of the top i thought o.o
why is America on there like twice??
Why i Vatican City at the bottom? To be honest, it should be on the 20th or something. Its known because its very holy and stuff…
i am appalled that east timor is so low. it’s a rather interesting country. and let’s admit it serbia is more popular than french guiana
