ALEXA, a global rating system that utilizes web traffic data to compile a list of the most popular websites, rated Virtueonline as the world leader in Anglican news dissemination from an orthodox perspective.
The Alexa report ranked Virtueonline 779,102 out of 30 million websites globally, rating it the leader in global Anglican news. This number does not include a biweekly digest that goes to an additional 6,000 persons, with additional pass-alongs. In addition, stories that appear on VOLs FACEBOOK page get from 4,000 to 28,000 hits per story. This virtually doubles the readership.
