A lot of older versions of excel can only import 65,000 records from a CSV file. I encountered this problem today and ended up writing a PHP script which lets me search the entire top million sites using just a browser.
In addition to checking on competitors,
it’s possible to get a list of top trafficked domains by domain extension.
For example, I found…
565,805 sites using .com
70,640 sites using .net
48,810 sites using .org
13,135 sites using .info
3939 sites using .biz
3628 sites using .tv
3107 sites using .eu
227 sites using .mobi
Please feel free to pass along to your readers. The tool is located at: http://www.popularity.info and can search the entire list in about 10 seconds without having to download the list to a local computer.
p.s. Just looked at your Bio – I also started on a PDP-11 and Apple II+ back in the day!
Nice idea for those with older Excel. no surprise that .com still rules
