A separate study by Hitwise in March found that the share of overall Web traffic to Q&A sites had doubled over the last year.
By contrast, employment site Monster.com had the biggest drop-off for the year ending April 2008 as its audience dwindled by 26% to 9.3 million.
In terms of time spent, Microsoft's Live.com was the big gainer, increasing 656% to 18.1 minutes a day. AOL's AIM.com showed the biggest decline, falling 67.8% to 5.3 minutes a day.
Google remained the Web's top search provider with 56.5% of total queries.
