The 20 Most Visited Sites According To …
Interesting to see the top 20 domains according to Compete.com, all with 20 million+ unique visitors in October:
As Richard at Read/WriteWeb points out, techie-slanted Alexa tells a different story:
1. yahoo.com
2. google.com
3. myspace.com
4. msn.com
5. ebay.com
6. amazon.com
7. youtube.com
8. craigslist.org
9. wikipedia.org
10. cnn.com
11. facebook.com
12. go.com
13. live.com
14. blogger.com
15. aol.com
16. microsoft.com
17. comcast.net
18. imdb.com
19. digg.com
20. flickr.com
In this FAQ, Compete explains why their data—based on 2 million users—is more accurate than Alexa’s.
Why doesn’t everyone just use Google Analytics so we can all share and compare the same data?
Does it mean that Compete.com has a more reliable result on who are the top websites on the net? As I can see on the two lists of Top 20 Domains, there are some websites appearing on the Compete list but not on Alexa list and vice versa. I always used Alexa to search out traffic rankings… but it is really very interesting to see both lists.
