Back in April we wrote about Flock partnering with Alltop to create a green version of the social media browser that includes Alltop as the default start page. Today SEO blogger Neil Patel has some stats on what type of rankings Alltop has in Google in the year after launch. It’s pretty damn impressive - especially considering that there’s no content on the site - just links.

For example, search for moms in Google and Alltop ranks 1st. How many sites (including NY’s own CafeMom) wouldn’t die for that ranking? Other notable rankings include:

• oddities: 2
• egos: 4
• lifehacks: 5
• celebrities: 6
• dads: 7
• venture capital: 7
• teen news: 10
• humor: 11
• career: 11
• fashion: 13
• mac news: 13
• small business: 25
• world news: 28
• seo: 28
• politics: 29
• autos: 29
• food: 31

Check out the entire list on Pronet where Neil also looks at why Alltop ranks so well. We are listed on the social media page and I’d say we see about 5-6 visitors a week from the listing. I am guessing that categories like celebrities and egos do much better and drive more traffic.

I guess we could start a discussion around whether Alltop should be sharing whatever revenue they earn with the content publishers, you know the ones who make the content that appear on Alltop. Looks like master SEO Calacanis has some competition now!
