This post includes a survey of web site traffic for some of the most popular family history and genealogy related web sites. The data included shows # page visits for each web site for the month of August, 2008. This data was taken from the compete.com web site.
The # page visits metric, as defined by compete.com, means–the total number of visits to a site during the month, which may include multiple visits by a particular user. If the user visits multiple pages on the site, it is still counted as a single visit, unless that user has been inactive for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, any further page loads are counted as a new visit.
All web traffic is shown for a particular domain, e.g. ancestry.com. Data is not broken down by multiple pages/areas within that domain, e.g. search.ancestry.com vs. ancestrypress.ancestry.com.
I’ve grouped the web sites into several top-level categories, based on the primary purpose or use of the site. Some sites appear in multiple categories, if they have significant functionality in multiple categories.
I haven’t included sites that deal with specific surnames, specific geographical regions, or specific products (e.g. ordering coats of arms).
In each category, I’ll present a graph showing the # visits for each site, followed by the actual data for the sites in that category. Both the graph and the data will be sorted, with the sites having the most number of visits listed first.
When actual site data is listed, I include both “# visits” and “# unique visits” data. The number of unique visits shows the number of individual computers/users that visited the site during the month, as opposed to the total number of visits.
All Sites
To start with, here are metrics for the top sites, across all categories. To keep the graph manageable, only the top sites are graphed–i.e. those having at least 100,000 visits per month.
Here is the full list of sites, with the most frequently visited listed first.

Blogs / Podcasts / News
This category includes top-level domains that contain family history related blogs, podcasts, or primarily contain news. My lists of blogs is not very complete and does not contain blogs that do not have their own domain name. (Because traffic data for blogs hosted on other sites is not available).

By the way, let me know of any family history web sites that I may have missed, and that could be described as “general purpose” family history sites. (I.e. no surname-specific or geographic-specific). If you leave a comment suggesting a new site, I’ll consider including it in future posts (showing data for future time periods).

Hi Sean,
This is just great work ! You’re doing a fantastic job from a ‘genealogical’ perspective.
On behalf of MyHeritage.com, thank you for the mention. Feel free to get in touch with me, if there’s something more that I would like to know about MyHeritage.com
Thanks

Sean,
Thanks for your list. I ran across it while I was preparing our second annual list of 50 Most Popular Genealogy Websites, which you can see at http://www.progenealogists.com/top50genealogy2009.htm
I appreciated your list and find it includes most of the sites we looked at. We actually examined 300+ different sites to make sure we had the most popular, and your list helps to confirm that. We merged their rankings from our different website measuring companies, so the outcome is a bit different, but all quite interesting.
I’ll be going through your overall list to see if we’ve missed any. Keep up the good work!
