Genealogy site rankings

Here are the global rankings for a selection of genealogy-related websites, using Alexa.com, as of 3 September 2011.
How have things changed? In parenthesis find the rankings I posted six weeks and three months ago.

Ancestry.com remains top ranked, slipping overall rank ever so slightly. Myheritage.com remains the top genealogy social networking site.
In the past six weeks 22 rankings have increased, 24 declined.
BIFHSGO.ca jumped over 2 million places in the rankings, no doubt related to the forthcoming conference.
One site is no longer included as it dropped below 20,000,000 in the rankings.
To compensate I've added in one of my regular visits, Chris Paton's Scottish GENES blog, scottishancestry.blogspot.com/.

ancestry.com 1,103, (1,076), (984)

myheritage.com 3,524, (4,573), (3,886)

geni.com 7,768 (7,068), (8,086)

familysearch.org 8,497, (9,138), (9,120)

genealogy.com 12,295, (12,691), (12,190)

archives.gov 17,366 (17,053), (18,209)
