The Top 150 Conservative Websites -- 1Q12

Using Alexa's traffic rankings, the following represents a tabular view of the top 150 conservatively focused news and blog sites. Each column can be sorted by clicking the column header. And just click on the site-name to open a new window and visit the website. And, yes, I know that some of these sites aren't truly "conservative". That said, conservatives often cite and reference them, so I've included them for purposes of completeness.

Congrats for breaking the to 100 listing!!!

directorblue said...

Before anyone starts whining, I realize there are a couple of errors in the list:

* pjmedia and pajamasmedia are redundant
* autoblog shouldn't be in there

etc.
Any other suggestions appreciated.

Fox News?? Really? Have they actually seen FOX lately? Wow...

Doug Ross is the BEST site and my first stop every day.

Shayne said...

That's great, Doug. Congratulations! But I have a couple of questions. Where is Ace of Spades and why Dallasnews.com on the list? Since when is the Dallas Morning News conservative?

We have Mitt Romney's Florida Victory Speech posted now on Common Cents....

Bad link on Ace

Hi Doug, I should fall in there someplace (at least at this moment). Thanks for offering to take a look next time. http://maggiesnotebook.com

directorblue said...

Note to add:

mittromneycentral.com would show up at #95, and race42012.com would be #96.

DirectorBlue,
ConservativeDailyNews.com has an Alexa ranking of 174,267 which would put it at #113. CDN's U.S. ranking is 36,667.

directorblue said...

CanadaFreePress should be on the list too.

directorblue said...

don't forget fas.org

sipsey street irregulars

DaTechGuy said...

Not to be a pain but by Alexa's own standards it appears datechguyblog.com should be on this list.

http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/datechguyblog.com#

Alexa Rank 391,862 US Rank 61145

Any particular reason why the blog isn't there?

Conservapedia.com I am counting on DirectorBlue for Q2
