Alexa describes their global traffic ranking metrics as:

"Our global traffic rank is a measure of how a website is doing relative to all other sites on the web over the past 3 months. The rank is calculated using a proprietary methodology that combines a site's estimated average of daily unique visitors and its estimated number of pageviews over the past 3 months. We provide a similar country-specific ranking, which is a measurement of how a website ranks in a particular country relative to other sites over the past month."


I worked off the previous list, and added some others that I thought might have a ranking of 3.5 million or less.  I may have missed some sites because I don't know about them or forgot about them.  Some sites do not have a ranking because Alexa does not have enough data.  Some sites, especially blogs, suffer in rankings because some of their traffic is from email readers or news reader feeds.


Last year's Alexa rankings are at 
Selected Genealogy Website Alexa Traffic Rankings - 3 January 2019.

I know I have not listed every genealogy website or blog that exists with less than a 3 million Global ranking.  I may have missed some that are relatively high ranking.  If you have a favorite site or blog not on the list, please let me know in a Comment to this post.  I will add it if the Global ranking is less than 3.5 million.

  1. Amazing Randy, any idea why my web site ranks so highly now? What happened since a year ago? Anyway thanks so much for publishing these yearly lists.

  2. Kitty,

    I think you've earned it with your world renown and willingness to share your experiences, your conference talks, and your society presentations. All of the top 10 DNA experts showed very well this year.

  3. Blushing ... thanks. However I now realize that some of my higher than the other bloggers ranks is because my email subscription only includes the first paragraph, not the whole article, so people have to come to my site to read it.

  4. Aha, I think you're correct! Several other genea-bloggers do that also. I don't get any bloggers on email, but I see several on Feedly with the RSS Feed who show only a certain amount of text. And if I want to read it after the first paragraph, I click on the site.

    I figure if my readers want the email, they're entitled to the full shebang. Since I usually post 2-4 things a day, it saves them clicks, unless they want to comment. Few do.

    I guess I'm doomed to #96 or similar.
