Knowing the top websites in every field you are interested will boost significantly your chances of getting the required information at just one visit. Amongst other advantages, it saves you a lot of time and money and may even be your protector against falling victim to one scam or the other.
So, how would one know the top sites? “Through search engines!” you may be tempted to shout. Not exactly that. Just because you search a phrase like ‘top job websites’ on Google and a list of top websites pops up doesn’t mean that the list represents the actual top sites.
To have a feeling of what a top job website for instance looks like, click this link. First notice the Alexa tool bar ranking of this site. If you have a Google toolbar, check the rank of the site. The rank on Google attempts to show the importance of a particular webpage. Note however that having a low or no ranking on Google toolbar doesn’t mean a website isn’t important. The true importance of a webpage would better be determined by individual visitors.
Perhaps the easiest way of determining whether a site is in a top position or not is by using the Alexa ranking which places a website according to the amount of traffic it is receiving. Any site that is ranked from 1 to 200,000 is a top website in its niche. When a site is ranked for instance 900,001, it only means the traffic is in the 900,000th position. It doesn’t indicate the number of visitors. A site that is ranked 100,000 is far much better in traffic than the one ranked 500,000. Again look at this site and study the tool bars that appear above and below it. I’m sure you’ve now got an idea of what a top job website looks like.
Another way of determining whether a website is on the top position is by checking their value in Dollars. The value means how much money it could easily be sold for. You can click here to check the value of this site. Note however that toolbars like Alexa and Google etc provide the basic information of which a site’s value is determined.
