Quantifying US Anglican websites


Update from VirtueOnline: what these figures don't reveal is the passalongs. VOL's weekly digest 
goes out to 2000 Canadians by Fr. Ed Hird and 12,000 Brazilians by Bishop
Cavilcanti.  VOL is also featured on over 800 websites. 


When I have done this using Alexa.com I have heard whining from Stand Firm in Faith about the metrics that Alexa.com uses.  So, this time I am using a different site, Quantcast.  Quantcast was mentioned in a recent email that I received from examiner.com, for which I write as the Binghamton Christianity Examiner and the Binghamton Arts & Entertainment Examiner.  According to Quantcast,

VirtueOnline is the top US Anglican site with a ranking of 32, 754.
Stand Firm is second with a ranking of 47,416.
TitusOneNine is third with a ranking of 83,605.

VirtueOnline has far and away the largest audience with 47,415 people.  TitusOneNine is second with an audience of 16,583; Stand Firm is third with 13,890.

Stand Firm leads with 783,420 visits, followed closely by TitusOneNine at 773,283.  VirtueOnline is third with 403,500 visits.

How do these rankings compare with Alexa.com data?

According to Alexa, Stand Firm has a world traffic rating of 785,363, TitusOneNine of 737,857 and VirtueOnline of 478,629.

The US traffic rating according to Alexa breaks out this way:

VirtueOnline - 93,218
Stand Firm - 315,627
TitusOneNine- 478,710

Different metrics, similar results: VirtueOnline is the top Anglican website in the United States.
