Here are the global rankings for a selection of genealogy-related websites, using Alexa.com, as of 3 September 2011.
How have things changed? In parenthesis find the rankings I posted six weeks and three months ago.
Ancestry.com remains top ranked, slipping overall rank ever so slightly. Myheritage.com remains the top genealogy social networking site.
In the past six weeks 22 rankings have increased, 24 declined.
BIFHSGO.ca jumped over 2 million places in the rankings, no doubt related to the forthcoming conference.
One site is no longer included as it dropped below 20,000,000 in the rankings.
To compensate I've added in one of my regular visits, Chris Paton's Scottish GENES blog, scottishancestry.blogspot.com/.

I'm intrigued by how low the various software vendors rankings are compared to sites with data content.
The first vendor on the list is family tree maker at 216,000, then legacy at 325,000 with rootsmagic down in the 500s and TMG's wholly genes over 1m.
By comparison, my relatively obscure website, thepeerage.com, with a bunch of data on British peerage families, has a ranking of 175,238! Cyndislist is of course another example of a data rich site built and maintained by a single (dedicated) person ranking up there at 116,000.
I honestly would have thought he professionally built and maintained sites where tons of people visit to download software would have rated higher up than those where people view to view data.

May I suggest a couple more sites for those who may in the future be compiling resources?
www.familyforest.com
www.ancestraltravel.net
Here are a couple more sites to be added to your list:
www.rootschat.com 119,385
www.one-name.org (Guild of One-Name Studies) 1,092,521
JewishGen.org ranks 14th with a value of 88,642
any mention on Ancestry24
THANK YOU!!
Thanks for taking time to share all these valuable links,
Elisabeth
