The Top 125 Political Websites On The Net Version 5.0
by John Hawkins
Once again, I've decided it's time to rank the most popular political websites using Alexa.com...
Do keep in mind that...
1) While I think this is a fairly comprehensive list, I'm sure some pages were probably left out. That wasn't intentional; it's just something that is going to happen when you try to take on an undertaking as massive as this one.
2) No newspapers or pages run by the networks were included because of the large amount of traffic they drew from non-political sources. Also, it goes without saying that sometimes I had to make judgement calls about whether certain pages that don't necessarily exclusively cover politics were going to make the list.
3) Last but not least, Alexa sometimes cannot distinguish between the main page and secondary page of a website. That means pages hosted at Blog*spot and other services where a blog is simply given a sub-domain could not be included. Because of that, a small number of pages that would have otherwise been ranked, were not included.
All 125 websites are listed with their Alexa rank following their link. So for example, a "1" would mean the page was the most popular website on the net. A "50,000" would mean the 50,000th most popular page on the net. With that being said, let's go ahead and take a look at the rankings.
