Popular deal sites – March 2009

This is March 2009 revision of the Popular Deal Sites list. You can find the last month revision of the list here.

The change in rating shows the difference compared to February results and includes all deal sites from my database that meet Alexa Rank < 100,000 requirement. The list has 41 sites, two less than the last month.

The average deal site lost 17.6% in Alexa rank this month with gottadeal.com (-88.3%) and dealsofamerica.com (-51.17%) losing most of all. The top gainers this month are webbyplanet.com (14.24%) and anandtech.com (12.75%).

Google had a page rank update at the beginning of the month and also there seems to be some sort of re-shuffle going on at Alexa. Not sure what exactly it is but many deal sites have suddenly dropped in ranking. If you have any clue - please leave a comment
