I would add alltheweb.com. (Fast)

No Google?
No visitors!

[Ove]

That was of the topplacement of msn. Msn is the leader of most visitors

This is just the top ten what the swedish people had surfed to.
For marketing
fast and google are the best ones i will agree with you about that

So for Sweden this question: MSN - Europes Portal No.1?
[webmasterworld.com] is clearly answered.
So what about Google in Sweden?

[Ove]

Google is still one of the major SE the one who will bring even more traffic than fast sometimes it depends what the site content are.

Its hard to tell wich engine that brings most traffic.

For all my clients (Swedish) Google brings most refers, MSN almost nothing, i don't think people does searches that much on MSN.

Interesting to see Altavista's gradual backward march from what was once the top position.

To clarify what's behind these names:
Msn.se (search - default search in IE)
Microsoft.com (the default homepage for all IE browsers, often never changed)
Passagen.se (the countries biggest portal with Fast-based Evreka onboard)
Aftonbladet.se (a newspaper)
Hotmail.com (wonder why?)
Telia.com (the country's biggest ISP, preset home page if you buy an account with them)
Spray.se (i.e Lycos à la Suedois with Fast search onboard)
Tv4.se (TV-portal)
Föreningssparbanken.se (Big savings bank)
Swipnet.se (2nd biggest ISP in Sweden, preset as home for all new surf accounts)

So: Angiolo has a good point about not forgetting about Fast. They are twice in the top 10.

But where is Google? My guess is spot 11 or 12.
