Party Poker got a bit of free publicity last week when it was included near the top of a list of the top 1,000 most-visited websites on the internet. The list was generated by Google.com’s DoubleClick Ad Planner service and listed the gaming site at number 59, surprisingly ahead of giants like Cnn.com, ThePirateBay.org and the NYTimes.com.

According to Google, PartyPoker.com recieved around 35,000,000 unique visitors and 280,000,000 page views for the month of April. CNN on the other hand received a million fewer unique visitors but boasted a mammoth 1.3 billion page views.

Even so, the thought that an online gambling site that does not even service the U.S. market attracted more unique visitors than an international news organization like Cnn.com makes these numbers seem highly dubious. Furthermore, no other gambling site even comes close to making the cut in the 1,000 site list. Poker Stars, Full Tilt and Absolute Poker are nowhere to be found.

This could come as good news though, if more people are visiting PartyPoker.com than reading news at the New York Times we should be seeing a lot more fish in the near future.
