Top News Websites

Site Stats Database currently tracks 59,192 news 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, News is #1 of 3,112 topics & industries that Site Stats Database tracks.

The most common topics among them are New York, Cars, and Reviews, and they are most common in United States and Germany. The breakdowns above show the full split, based on the 59,192 we track.

They have roughly average authority: the median News site has an Ahrefs Domain Rating of 31, about the same as the 28 median across all sites Site Stats Database tracks.

Over the last 2 months, the number we track grew 40% and their combined traffic rose 1.2%, 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 59,192 news websites.
