Alexa Rank: #1 Google #2 Facebook #3 Yahoo

If you have an Alexa Rank installed in your browser, you’ll notice a change for the top ten ranking as follows:

#1. Google.com
#2. Facebook.com
#3. Yahoo.com
#4. Youtube.com
#5. Windows Live
#6. Wikipedia
#7. Blogger.com
#8. MSN.com
#9. Baidu.com
#10. Yahoo.co.jp

Among the top ten, the most phenomenal sites which reach unexpected rise (and fortune) are Youtube and now Facebook. Only few days back that I saw Facebook was in number 3.  If the Facebook phenomenon continues, it can be the Google successor at #1 very soon.

Alexa is an online tools which rank is based on a website’s traffic. The more the traffic you gain, the less the number.

Although you can “game” Alexa rank easily as I wrote here and here, the trick can’t be done in such a massive scale. In other words, the Alexa top ten sites still has much credibility.
