My 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.
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?
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.
The 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):
"nginx is the front-end for nearly as many sites as IIS", oh I wished that was true but according to my naive counting IIS is over 3 times more popular, am I missing something?:
Not 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.. :-)
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.
They 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.
"
A 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?

You can do some decently interesting analysis..like the fact that nginx is the front-end for nearly as many sites as IIS.
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.

.com: 120,000,000 uniques
.org: 8,100,000 uniques
Impressive.
Perhaps another confirmation of what the SO folks have been saying about their popularity.
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.
