Top Sites
What if you could take all the websites in the world and sort them by popularity? Alexa has done just that. Click on the Top Sites tab to unlock a whole world of information about websites. You can see a list of the most popular sites in the world, based on global rankings — something only Alexa can provide you. Popular sites by country is another Alexa exclusive. For example, if you want to know what sites people in Brazil like to visit, you can find out.
Perhaps the most powerful Top Sites feature is located in the "By Category" tab, where you can see lists of top sites in thousands of different categories. Say that you are interested in "extrasolar planets;" Alexa has a category for that: Science > Astronomy > Extrasolar Planets. There you'll find a list of 33 different sites about extrasolar planets — all sorted by popularity. Top Sites by Category is a great way to discover new sites.
