This is hard evidence where marketers should look to, and what content should writers focus on. Here’s the top 20 countries which boast of maximum number of internet users.
1. China
Population: 1330.1 million ( 1.3 billion)
Internet users: 420 million
China is anybody’s guess. With the highest population, and an intellectual population, they were bound to ride atop on any given day. No wonder, Google and other majors bow down before the great wall of china and adhere to all their intimidation policies.
2. United States
Population: 307.2 million
Internet users: 234.4 million
Right on the money again! These are the people who invented most things in our modern lives and why the heck are they in second place. Oh yeah! They don’t reproduce like pigs.
3. Japan
Population: 126.8 million
Internet users: 99.1 million
Surprise! Surprise!
4. India
Population: 1173.1 million (1.2 billion)
Internet users: 81 million
India was my no.3, but nevertheless, they are behind a minute nation. India’s ranking will change in the next three years. My bet is on no.3, and give another decade, US will follow India. But, I do not believe that India will be able to cross the great wall of China.
5. Brazil
Population: 198.7 million
Internet users: 72 million
Most users follow soccer fans alone.
6. Germany
Population: 82.3 million
Internet users: 65.1 million
7. Russia
Population: 139.4 million
Internet users: 59.7 million

Internet users: 51.4 million
9. France

Internet users: 44.6 million
10. Nigeria

Internet users: 44 million
Now I know why there are so many email scams originating from this poor African nation. The art of making money is a gift endowed upon them and they pay taxes too. :)
