      Hi Samuel, currently I have you ranked at 61st though the alexa data is sketchy – btw it is free to ‘claim’ your website via alexa which improves your visibility to them, presumably reducing the error in their estimates 😉

   Very interesting. However I don’t think Alexa measures subdomains, if you lookup blog.thewhiskyexchange.com it displays results for thewhiskyexchange.com, which explains the high rank. Also, I know the public Alexa stats don’t match my Analytics data so there must be a significant margin.

   In the end I think this includes most of the major websites, but I wouldn’t count too much on the absolute ranking. Nice idea though!

      Hi Ruben, Many thanks for your comments and interest. I agree the method is not perfect but a reasonable indicator and less prone to bias than most Top Blog lists. Many of which appear mostly to be constructed around friends/bloggers that the list compiler knows personally and how well they know them/want to promote them. I was trying to remain completely impartial and rank order on an easily measurable metric – albeit an estimate at best.

   Alexa estimates my site’s metrics, apparently… Must look into that!

   Happy to share my GA to prove my worth! 30k page views for the past 30 days…

      Hi Mark, thanks for getting in touch – according to your rankings Malt-Review is placed 21st. I know the alexa rankings are not ideal but are relatively independent – as one commentator put it they are a little like TV viewing figures – an estimate at best.

   Hi there – I run a whiskey blog in the US called The Whiskey Wash (http://thewhiskeywash.com). Here are our Alexa analytics – http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thewhiskeywash.com – not sure where that fits us in, but here are our metrics from last month according to them:

   Daily Unique Visitors 2,029
   Daily Pageviews 3,312
   Monthly Unique Visitors 74,123
   Monthly Pageviews 134,858

   Feel free to drop me a line at nino@thewhiskeywash.com if you have any questions – cheers!

         A solid 4th yet Whiskyfun.com (6th) claimed four times more (!) daily visitors in its 2014 overview. Maybe this should be a bullet list instead of a numbered list 🙂

   Hi Ruben, sadly as a Scientist my natural inclination is to measure and rank things accordingly – I don’t really buy into the modern phenomena of everyone is a winner mentality. Also by no means am I implying that No.1 is the best blog ever it is just the most popular as determined by amount of traffic (issue has already been raised with blogs on commercial sites like 1 & 2 as the estimate does not distinguish visitors purely to their blogs). I’d be interested to see how Whisky Fun has fared this year – with the ‘explosion’ in blogger numbers there may well be more competition for readers. Also there are big differences in hits vs unique visitors and how some metrics are estimated, Serge claims 6-8k “visits” in his overview. With a site famous for 10k+ reviews I wonder how many of these are unique – based on an assumption of say 1/3 total hits then the data looks solid to me.

   Beautiful approach, thank you so very much. Ive been using Alexa and my site’s going pretty well ranking http://www.meleklerinpayi.com as #490.055 global rank. I recently started to write bilingual, but originally it’s the first whisky blog in Turkish language…
