Top Visited sites in Chile

There are over 8.4 million Internet users in Chile, with about 17 million people in the population as of June 2010.  According to Google's public data taken from World Bank, this makes up about 34% of Chile's population of Internet users.  This may not seem like much, but the percentage rates reported by Internet world stats have seen a 376.2% increase from 2000-2009.  Chile has been steadily growing throughout the years.  Also, one has to take into account that there are still citizens in the country that live in more traditional, rural communities. Efforts are being made to integrate these communities in to the technological era, so it is likely that within a few years those percentages will rise significantly.
