askmosesand_jpost.pngAfter seeing a website that claimed to be the “World’s most popular Jewish website” I figured I better do some research and see. Why do I care? I guess I secretly hoped that we were number one. Right. Actually I feel that truth in advertising is very important, especially for Jews.

Then I realized I was much more interested in what was the best ranking “Jewish” website. The top site in “Judaism” was Jpost.com, in “Jewish” it is Jewishvirtuallibrary.com. Some other interesting news was that thanks in part to Mobius, Jewwatch.com has been knocked into 5th place in the “Jew” catagory, with wikipedia.com coming in first. In addition, the most popular Jewish dating sites by Alexa ranking are Jdate, Frumster and Jmatch. (I took out a strange site called jewishe-match.net which kept redirecting me to jewishmingle.com.) Ranking often has a lot to do with whether or not whoever running the site has deployed effective SEO. Using a service like this Macclesfield SEO company can be great for boosting a site up Google’s search result rankings.

Traffic Rank for islamway.com: 706
Traffic Rank for jpost.com: 1,059
