Alexa has become one of the most important tools for webmasters to check their website ratings and statistics by this system. On Alexa ratings there are two things that have a bit more influence by statistic checkers: the number of visitors (the Reach feature) and the number of page views (Pageviews). Reach features the percent of whole internet users who have visited the current site. For example if the site is yahoo.com it may have nearly 25% ''Reach'' which means that from whole internet users counted by Alexa, the 25 % are yahoo.com visitors. Pageview statistics feature the total amount of requests from these visitors to the site. But, multiple requests for the same website URL by one visitor within one day is considered as a one pageview.
The top list of websites is created by their one month Alexa traffic rank. My friends and other internet users always ask which are the most visited websites are or which are the top sites in Alexa list. Below I submit the top 10 sites on web with their introductions and reviews for March of 2010.
