I need a website-rating website

December 10, 2004 9:43 AM

I am looking for a reliable website that ranks the top websites by hits, preferably with search or at least categories. I am working on a project, and I need to find the top online casino's.

Best answer: Are you looking for free resources, or do you have a research budget for this information? If you've got a budget, the best options are the quantitative outfits like Nielsen/NetRatings (which now include the old Jupiter/MediaMetrix and DoubleClick @Plan), or the more qualitative outfits like Forrester Research.

(The quantitative ones will you give you a lot more statistical detail, but even a place like Forrester should be able to get you a "top ten" list for a given sector.)

I'm not sure if Alexa qualifies as reliable, (it's an Amazon company) but it has a top 5 list for casinos.

The poker sites probably inflate their numbers but you can review them here.
