Top 100 Most Visited Websites (US and Worldwide)

We’ve pulled the top 100 most visited sites by organic traffic from our database.

YouTube is the most visited website, with an estimated ~4.8 billion monthly organic visits.

Most other sites on the list are recognizable brands to us English speakers, but a few aren’t.

For example, the 20th most visited website in the world by search traffic is the Globo.com, a Brazilian sports news website. It gets an estimated 98.2% of its traffic from Brazil.

Top 100 most visited websites in the US

Unsurprisingly, this list is dominated by big websites that many of us know and love.

Wikipedia tops the list with 1.2 billion estimated monthly visits from organic search. Considering that the US population is ~336 million, that means each person in the US clicks on a YouTube result 3.57 times per month, on average.

It’s a similar story for YouTube. Each person in the US clicks a result 2.85 times per month on average.

Amazon is next on the list, with 538 million estimated organic monthly visits.

Interestingly, around 17% of those visits (90.19 million) come from one search query: “Amazon.”

Below are a couple more interesting observations from the top 100.

Google

Google.com is in 95th place with an estimated 21 million monthly organic visits from the US. Believe it or not, roughly 6.4 million of these (30.5%) come from people Googling “Google.”

Craigslist

Craigslist gets more search traffic than Best Buy, Lowes, Kohls, and many other big names.

Most of this traffic comes from branded searches like “craigslist” and “craigslist [insert city name].”

Interestingly, Craigslist is primarily popular in the US, where it gets 94.4% of its traffic.
