Top Ghost Websites

Site Stats Database currently tracks 423 ghost websites. We detect this by analyzing each site's homepage, response headers, and DNS, then enrich every record with traffic and authority data.

By number of sites, Ghost is #800 of 3,112 topics & industries that Site Stats Database tracks.

The most common topics among them are Tours, History, and Paranormal, and they are most common in United States and France. The breakdowns above show the full split, based on the 423 we track.

They tend to have lower authority than the typical website: the median Ghost site has an Ahrefs Domain Rating of 22, lower than the 28 median across all sites Site Stats Database tracks.

Over the last 2 months, the number we track grew 86% and their combined traffic rose 30%, based on Site Stats Database's month-by-month snapshots of this group.

Traffic estimates, organic keywords, and authority come from DataForSEO; Domain Rating comes from Ahrefs' public endpoint; and the topic, market, and tech detections come from Site Stats Database's own crawler, which inspects each site's HTML, headers, DNS, and TLS certificate.

At least monthly. Traffic and rankings refresh every month, and detections refresh as sites are re-crawled, so this page always reflects the current 423 ghost websites.
