ComScore Traffic Data for Sept.: YouTube Continues To Explode

YouTube continued its dramatic growth in September, with traffic to the site totaling 81 million visitors, according to a report issued Thursday by ComScore Networks. That was a 12% increase from August.

Some might have expected a dip in audience, given that many of the video sharing site's users were back on campus. But it appears they still had time for YouTube (GOOG) and, perhaps more importantly, also had broadband access.
