*Alexa rank is based on the amount of traffic a website receives from internet users who have the Alexa toolbar installed on their browsers. As such, Alexa ranking tends to be skewed towards websites that get a lot of traffic from webmasters, bloggers, online marketers and other technical people. This nature of the Alexa ranking analysis makes its reliability rather debatable as some webmasters claim that people who have the Alexa toolbar installed are too little a sample to represent the entire online population. Nonetheless, Alexa rank is still used by a lot of internet marketers and potential advertisers as one of the main determinants of a website's value.

Why post this list now? TechPinas is interested to see how the rise of Google Plus, as Facebook's main competition, will affect the latter's ranking after a few months. We're treating this list as a benchmark for future rankings.
