100 most popular websites

Hello,

For a study I'm conducting I need a list of the 100 (or so) most
visited websites and was wondering if anyone had thoughts on the best
source for this. Alexa has a list up here:
http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sit...=lang&lang=en#
but of course it's biased because it ranks based on people that have
downloaded the Alexa toolbar. I'm at a loss to find something better
and am wondering if there even is anything better.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Jeff

I have a feeling if you do a search for Neilson they might have
something.

I don't have 100 sites but I could send you a list of all the site I
do have.

Including the mud wrestling one? :-p

But isn't he an expert of Web usability. I recently read about the top sites
in terms of volume... let me find it...

Okay, found it:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/cmp/20051210/tc_cmp/174910288

This should give you up-to-date figures, but it does not go very low down the
leagues.

Hope this helps,

Roy

Yeah, at best, I think the data isn't free and at worst they don't have
it.

Their website is probably the least informative site I've ever seen...

I wish they would cite where they got that information from. I need at
least 100 sites anyway though.

Thanks Though!
