50% of the search engine visits came from Google

The percentage of Google's downstream traffic going to Wikipedia increased by 166% year over year

When you read about traffic like this, it's absolutely baffling that anyone can run themselves broke on it. After all, it seems that no matter what term you search, the Wikipedia entry appear on the first page of results, and often in the top five.
