While I miss some of the content, that site\u2019s demise certainly hasn\u2019t left the web void of sources of news, views, and education for the procurement professional.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve 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\u2019s measurements).<\/p>\n<p>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 \u2013 not just procurement sites \u2013 is google.com, followed by facebook.com at #2.<\/p>\n<p>OK\u2026onto those procurement sites\u2026<\/p>\n<p>1. scmr.com \u2013 268,950<\/p>\n<p>2. supplymanagement.com \u2013 304,775<\/p>\n<p>3. spendmatters.com \u2013 310,865<\/p>\n<p>4. nextlevelpurchasing.com \u2013 335,969<\/p>\n<p>5. cporising.com \u2013 362,372<\/p>\n<p>6. procurementleaders.com \u2013 363,205<\/p>\n<p>7. sdcexec.com \u2013 451,686<\/p>\n<p>8. agmetalminer.com \u2013 478,525<\/p>\n<p>9. sourcinginnovation.com \u2013 745,030<\/p>\n<p>10. theferrarigroup.com \u2013 842,732<\/p>\n<p>11. spendmatters.co.uk \u2013 966,611<\/p>\n<p>12. strategicsourceror.com \u2013 1,751,907<\/p>\n<p>13. cpoagenda.com \u2013 1,833,581<\/p>\n<p>14. purchasinginsight.com \u2013 1,938,216<\/p>\n<p>15. vmo-blog.com \u2013 2,051,482<\/p>\n<p>16. atrisk.net \u2013 2,230,426<\/p>\n<p>17. esourcingforum.com \u2013 2,443,306<\/p>\n<p>18. supplyexcellence.com \u2013 2,494,630<\/p>\n<p>19. 2sustain.com \u2013 3,291,172<\/p>\n<p>20. mypurchasingcenter.com \u2013 4,502,076<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s not always clear how much bang a company is getting for its marketing buck. This list shows who has the traffic, relatively speaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>Recommended Reading<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\/course\/view.php?id=6\">14 Procurement Best Practices<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\/course\/view.php?id=20\">Expert Procurement Operations Management<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\/course\/view.php?id=21-2\">Improving Quality in the Supply Chain<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\/\">Priorities in Supply Chain Leadership<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\/\"><b>NLPA Learning<\/b><\/a><b>:<\/b>\u00a0Looking for authoritative procurement templates, tools, webinars, and more?
