How do you determine the top 100 websites?

The Top 100 websites in an Industry are based on the most recent month's data. This means that with the release of each new month of data, the Top 100 sites in an Industry may change based on which sites received more visits in the most recent month.

The list of top sites will not change when the time frame is adjusted because we are always showing the Top 100 sites based on the most recent month's data.
