Google Adsense requires that one has to show at least 20 million pages in order to be eligible to apply for a premium account.

That makes me wonder how many sites (among millions registered) can achieve that.

Alexa rankings do not say much about unique visitors or pages shown.

Does anyone know a source which provides information on "top web sites" in terms of unique visitors and/or pages shown?

Thanks.

Alexa is great for an estimate, but nothing to sell advertising space with.

I'm sure Google counts how many times their ads are shown. Not all of my pages have ads, so network wide across 5 domains I show 5000 Google Ads a day, but I get 8000 page views.

Either way you make a good point. 20 million visitors is a LOT. At my pace, that's almost 11 years. :)

I believe it is not 20m visitors but page views.

It's 5 million search queries or 20 million content page views a month.

And I believe it has to be at one site.

So nobody knows the # of unique visitors or the # of pages shown fior top sites - shall we say, the first 10.000?

And if not, approximately how many pages do you think the 10,000th site on Alexa shows in a month?

Alexa is pretty good for the larger sites such as MSN, Google, Y!, etc., but they suck at measuring the smaller sites.

Guess Google, doesn't care about the uniques, maybe they figure that if you have a site with that much traffic a big % comes from loyal/repeat visitors.

And, as far as top sites, I'm not sure what you mean?
