The 1000 most-visited sites on the web (by Google)
Stackoverflow: #824
experts-exchange.com: #996
- trun 16y agoDropbox on the list at 985. Impressive.
- darien 16y agoBut reddit.com is nowhere to be seen... surprising.
- drats 16y agoMy question is, if reddit were on that list, would the moderation system be able to prevent it turning into Digg? I don't think it could, although maybe the subreddit system could. Places like /r/politics/ are fairly useless for intelligent debate already. Such link sharing sites don't have the same "my friends are there" grounding force that Facebook has, it's just the "vibe" and community so running away to a new site is easily mounted.
- petercooper 16y agoAnd listed as a "Myth and Folklore" site. I wonder who came up with these "categories" - there are some crazy assignments in the list.
- sucuri2 16y ago#20 - ask.com #252 - digg.com #261 - justin.tv Reddit not in the list... What I don't understand is how come sites like openoffice.org, kaspersky.com, mcafee.com are so high in the list. Do people really visit them that often?
- CapitalistCartr 16y agoIt's more likely that their computer does. For stuff like Auto-updates.
- lftl 16y agoAhh that probably explains counduit.com at #29 as well.
- michaelbuckbee 16y agoAnd likely HP.com as well. Stupid printer drivers.
- michaelbuckbee 16y agoGiven how inaccurate the categorizations are I think it's possible that Reddit got put in the "adult" category.
- latch 16y agoI extracted the data, added IP, country and response headers, and dumped it into a usable format: http://openmymind.net/top1000data.txt http://openmymind.net/top1000data.txt You can do some decently interesting analysis..like the fact that nginx is the front-end for nearly as many sites as IIS.
- sosuke 16y agoOver what time period is pageviews calculated on?
- latch 16y agoThe page views is pulled from the original google list. They have more information at: http://www.google.com/support/adplanner/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=180594 http://www.google.com/support/adplanner/bin/answer.py?hl=en&... They don't say what time frame page view is, but they do say unique visits is over the course of 1 month - so its probably safe to assume page view is also over 1 month.
- sonnyz 16y agoWhy is dropbox 'myth and folklore'???
- rmorrison 16y agoOh god, and I've been trusting them w/ my backups!!!!!
- latch 16y agoThe categories of the json dump come directly from the original google source..so i don't know (and dropbox certainly isn't the only mis-categorized entry): http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/ http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/
- ireadzalot 16y agoCould you share how you extracted the data? I thought it was nifty that way you have it in that txt file. Thanks.
- remi 16y agoSource: http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/ http://www.google.com/adplanner/static/top1000/
- petercooper 16y agoNot sure why that's not the main link here instead of a useless blog article that removes half the data and adds no insight or extra information whatsoever.. :-)
- monos 16y ago"...as measured by Ad Planner." the list is a decent guesstimate. unless every single site on the planet uses the facebook like button, google analytics, google ads, or something else that tracks globally, there is now way to correctly measure UC or PI.
- jpdbaugh 16y agoThey must have filtered porn. There is no way redtube.com is not in the top 100.
- sucuri2 16y agoThey did: " Keep in mind that the list excludes adult sites, ad networks, domains that don't have publicly visible content or don't load properly, and certain Google sites. "
- jcl 16y agoA curious list of restrictions... I wonder what kind of site would be in the top 1000 that didn't have publicly visible content or load properly? Pure Flash sites, maybe?
- papachito 16y agoAlexa has a top 500 list with google and porn sites included http://www.alexa.com/topsites http://www.alexa.com/topsites
- jpdbaugh 16y agoSorry! I must have missed that.
- sucuri2 16y agoDid you guys notice Wordpress.com and .org in there: .com: 120,000,000 uniques .org: 8,100,000 uniques Impressive.
- dolinsky 16y agoMashable - #696 Techcrunch - #850. Nice to see I'm not the only one that prefers Cashmore to Arrington.
- ElbertF 16y agoWhy? All Mashable does is post about Twitter trends and recycle Techcrunch posts a week later.
- volida 16y agowhere s youtube?

- rokhayakebe 16y agoScribd 102. Excellent. I would like to know how much financing each one of those site took to date.
- hokkos 16y agowhere is google in that list ?
- bond 16y ago"Keep in mind that the list excludes adult sites, ad networks, domains that don't have publicly visible content or don't load properly, and certain Google sites." reply
- ori_b 16y agogoogle isn't on that list?
- rayvega 16y ago# 824 stackoverflow vs # 994 expertsexchange Perhaps another confirmation of what the SO folks have been saying about their popularity.
- petercooper 16y agoNote that StackOverflow is listed as being in the "Music" category :-) Wha..?
- cadr 16y agoI always go to StackOverflow to find out what the kids are listening to these days.

- retube 16y agothe daily mail at 236 aarrgghhhhh!!!!!!!
- zandorg 16y agoGeocities still running in Japan after being shut down in the west? Wierd!
- icey 16y agoDepressingly, Mahalo is on the list (#946).
- arst 16y agoI really doubt that usgs.gov (#978) gets anywhere near the number of visits that nfl.com gets (#993).
- ojbyrne 16y agoEverytime there's an earthquake in California, half the state goes there.
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- wheaties 16y agoWow, yahoo is up there. It's a shame they can't monetize their websites more.
- ThomPete 16y agoI think their problem is that they are to big an operation. They probably could be if they trimmed the company.
- portman 16y agoAmazing that Facebook has ONE THOUSAND pageviews per unique visitor compared to about 100 pageviews per unique visitor on the rest of the sites.
- alexyim 16y agoIt's interesting how hard it is to come up with http://windows.com http://windows.com even though I tried explicitly searching for it
- nkassis 16y agowhere is slashdot?
- larryfreeman 16y agoKeep in mind that the numbers listed are estimations. For example, HubPages, the site where I work, is listed at #270 with 11M unique visitors and 97M page views. Our monthly absolute unique visitors (according to Google Analytics) is more than three times that. Our monthly page views are greater than 100M.

- pg 16y agoAnyone care to do a scatterplot of domain name length vs rank?
- tewks 16y agoIt looks somewhat periodic: http://images.rdujour.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/domainLengthVersusRank.jpg http://images.rdujour.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/domainL... I did not include the length of the tld.
