This is very much what was needed, and what I needed for some analysis. Thank you.

This is really interesting.

You might also be interested in using things like:
- The RSS feeds for Alexa’s top 100 per-country (for smaller countries, these sites might not be in the top 1 mil) – could be merged with the main list, or perhaps taken on its own this might get interesting info regarding to compare countries

- Quantcast data (you can also download data, iirc also the top 1 million – there’s a restriction on commercial usage)

- I’m sure there are other top lists of sites (Hitwise etc?)

@Eddy – glad to hear you find it interesting! I’ve added a smaller version with just the first 10,000 hosts (1%), for people who want to play before they consume the big one. I should be able to produce a MySQL-compatible dump, but it will also be… large.

This is very interesting! Would it be possible to convert the DB also to a dump for MySQL? And perhaps could you provide a small snippet from the DB, so that not the full file has to get downloaded (for testing purpose)?

If there is a way to add sites to your Alexa list randomly I could contribute some harder to find sites, which could give some additional insight.
