It’s been nearly a year since Purchasing Magazine and its site, purchasing.com, went away. While I miss some of the content, that site’s demise certainly hasn’t left the web void of sources of news, views, and education for the procurement professional.
I’ve compiled a list of 20 top sites in the procurement space. These are sorted by their Alexa traffic rank, which is designed to rank sites from most to least traffic (by Alexa’s measurements).
The lower the number, the more traffic the site gets. Traffic rank changes regularly, so these are the numbers extracted today. By the way, the #1 site among all sites – not just procurement sites – is google.com, followed by facebook.com at #2.
OK…onto those procurement sites…
1. scmr.com – 268,950
2. supplymanagement.com – 304,775
3. spendmatters.com – 310,865
4. nextlevelpurchasing.com – 335,969
5. cporising.com – 362,372
6. procurementleaders.com – 363,205
7. sdcexec.com – 451,686
8. agmetalminer.com – 478,525
9. sourcinginnovation.com – 745,030
10. theferrarigroup.com – 842,732
11. spendmatters.co.uk – 966,611
12. strategicsourceror.com – 1,751,907
13. cpoagenda.com – 1,833,581
14. purchasinginsight.com – 1,938,216
15. vmo-blog.com – 2,051,482
16. atrisk.net – 2,230,426
17. esourcingforum.com – 2,443,306
18. supplyexcellence.com – 2,494,630
19. 2sustain.com – 3,291,172
20. mypurchasingcenter.com – 4,502,076
In addition to this list being a good resource for procurement professionals to use for their research, I think that marketers can benefit from this list as well. Many of these sites offer advertising or sponsorship opportunities where marketers can directly reach procurement decision-makers and it’s not always clear how much bang a company is getting for its marketing buck. This list shows who has the traffic, relatively speaking.
