The 13 Most Massively Popular Websites You've Never Heard Of

Everyone knows the most popular websites — Google, Amazon, Youtube and so forth.

But after the top 5, things can get a little weird.

Ever hear of steamcommunity.com? Or littlethings.com? Lots of people have.

Using data from Quantcast, which makes it easy to see the top websites in the United States based on millions of users that visit each website every month, we created a list of some of these strangely popular destinations.

We picked out the top sites you've never heard of, and for each one compared it to a big name site you almost definitely have heard of.

Some are worth taking a closer look at, you might just find your new favorite website.

This is an update to a post by Ellis Hamburger.

1. Legacy.com

An online obituary site that gathers obituaries from around the world, Legacy.com is as tear-jerking as it sounds.

It also draws 25,082,076 monthly visitors, several million more than USA Today.

2. Ranker.com

Ranker.com sounds exactly like what it is, hundreds of crowdsourced lists ranking just about everything. From the best chess sets to most iconic Revolutionary War weapons, Ranker's users have decided what comes first and what comes last.

At 22,300,614 monthly views, Ranker (literally) outranks Pandora's 15,482,069 monthly views.

3. Twentytwowords.com

A "premier viral publisher" twentytwowords.com's mission is to "Fight Boredom. Spread Happiness." They do so through articles about life hacks and cute puppies.

Apparently internet users eat it up, the site gets 16,100,179 views a day, more than travel website Expedia.
