About 6 weeks ago I compiled a list of the top 50 conservatory and double glazing websites according to Alexa. Basically, Alexa ranks all websites in the world depending upon how much traffic the sites get.
The lower the Alexa rank, the more traffic a site gets. As a bit of an SEO geek I find this detail very interesting, so I have reworked the latest positions:
1. everest.co.uk - 183,281 (Up 1)

The main points to note are:
There’s a few websites dropped out of the top 50, particularly Apropos and Breckenridge Conservatories (first and fourth last time). I’m not sure why these websites have dropped out of the Top 50, but assume that either Alexa had it wrong last time, or they were pushing PPC at the time, and have since cut back their spend.
Strangely, a new website Clearspan has jumped straight into the top 3, but I’m confused by the Alexa ranking as the site is really bad, with few pictures and a lack of content. There’s a link to Apropos, the site which has dropped totally out of the Alexa rankings, so I can’t figure it out.
The other high new entry crystalclearideas.co.uk confuses me as the website is pushing block paving, along with conservatories and they look like a small outfit.
Otherwise, most of the main websites have not moved very much, with Everest now taking the honour as the most visited website in our industry, closely followed by Anglian. Safestyle as you would expect are also trying very hard to generate traffic online.
Conservatory Outlet hasn’t changed it’s position, but RCG has climbed a place 
I’m also pleased that 4 of our dealers are in the top 50 – greenwayupvc.com, westyorkshirewindows.co.uk, conservatorywindowdooroutlet.co.uk and planetsouthlakes.com.
Another three of our sites are just outside the top 50 (but in the top 60) – conservatorytv.com, orion-windows.co.uk and theconservatoryoutlet.co.uk so more work is needed here…
