Top Sites
The top ranked sites in each category.
Many listings in Top Sites by Category are for specific pages or
subdirectories, not for entire sites. For example, in the Reference > Maps
section you'll find mapquest.com (an entire site about maps) and
maps.yahoo.com (one section about maps on a larger site).
For this reason, the listings in the Top Sites by Category are ordered by
Popularity of this listing, and not by the overall Traffic Rank of the site. We
use the same basic traffic ranking technology used for Alexa Traffic Rank
— a combination of users and page views — but apply it only to the
traffic for that specific listing. To find out the Traffic Rank of any site in
the Top Sites by Category directory, just click the name of the site and
you'll be taken to the "Site Info" page for that site.
