British viewers made up 16 per cent of the hits to michaelmoore.com, after they saw him make his 'Shame on you, Bush' speech during the ceremony in which he won the best documentary award for 'Bowling for Columbine'.
According to research from Hitwise, the site captured nearly 8 per cent of the market share, and figures show that 6.27 per cent of visitors bookmarked the site.
The traffic surge to political sites since the war began has coincided with less visits to financial and property web sites.
GuardianUnlimited continues to dominate politics on the web, ranking in the survey's top five, while Petitiononline.com and US alternative news site Znet also did well.
