User:Hemanshu/How popular is Wikipedia?
Appearance
so we are gonna break into the top 500 soon and I beleive we are more popular than the Brittanica site....
but we are not listed as popular site in the encyclopedia category of Yahoo! Directory
http://dir.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/?sort=lf
So I am going to check what Alexa thinks of the "popular" encyclopedias
Wikipedia.org reaches... ...400 times as many people as Brittanica.com ...more than 5 times as many people as encyclopedia.com ...more than 3 times as many people as infoplease.com ...a comparable number of users at best to encarta.msn.com (less than 1% of people visiting msn.com go to encarta.msn.com)
