Alexa, a web site ranking service, has a different way of determining the top 50 genealogy sites. The list that I obtained today from Alexa differs from the top 50 list published by ProGenealogist for 2008.
Either way both lists taken together provide the Genealogy community with a varied array of websites to turn to for on-line resources. 

The list that follows was pulled from Alexa, the Web Information Company, on 3 April 2008.
