Finding similar websites to a given website

[MrBrian]

Same topic as this expired thread (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=241772).

I've just found http://www.moreofit.com, which seems to give nice results ;D.

[Mr.PC]

To sum it up:

http://www.similarsites.com/
http://www.xmarks.com/
http://wectar.com/
http://web.insuggest.com/
http://www.similarsitesearch.com/
http://www.moreofit.com/
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo

In addition to those, I have these two sites in my bookmarks:
http://www.delicious.com/url/
http://www.quantcast.com

A "Similar" link sometimes appears in Google's search results. Also, Google has a related operator (http://google-expert-tips.blogspot.com/2009/10/related-google-operator.html).

My favorite remains Xmarks.com.

MrBrian, I am confident that my site http://www.similarsitesearch.com/ (http://www.similarsitesearch.com/)generates the best results. I hope there are some objective methods of measuring the performance. Maybe, we can start with comparing similar sites to wilderssecurity.com, wireshark.org, or any site that you use.

It's a pretty neat idea, the matches aren't so great though, saw lots of anomalies in the results.

I use this bookmarklet (javascript:location.href='http://similarsitesearch.com/s.php?URL='+encodeURIComponent(document.location.href)+'&source=bmt').

Thank you for your site :). This is what I said about your site in the expired thread:
-{ Quote: "I just discovered http://similar-site.com/. IMHO, this site gives excellent results. Also, for many sites you are given a list of over 100 similar sites, which is many more than the number of sites given by most of the other sites mentioned in this thread." }-

Google Chrome has an addon called "Similar Pages" I believe, that works quite well! :)

SimilarPages Firefox extension (http://www.similarpages.com/)
