If you come across an article that gets your interest, pro or con, you may want to find out how much influence the site has. Here is a way to get a preliminary assessment. Use Alexa.
Alexa rates sites in terms of traffic. The lower the number, the more the traffic. Major sites are Google, YouTube, and Facebook.
I have come across sites that are as low as 22 million.
Here is my assessment. If a site's Alexa number is lower than 500,000, it has some influence. If it is lower than 200,000, it is a player.
The coveted ranking is a number lower than 100,000.
Any site lower than 25,000 is major.
