We have decided to do a research on what are the most popular websites related to Drupal from an informational point of view. We asked Google for help and used one of its tools – “Google trends”, searching what are the websites related to Drupal.org that have had the biggest number of daily unique visitors this year.
So if you are interested to know in what are your fellow developers interested in and what websites are the most popular in offering Drupal-related help, then check out this rating we found on Google Trends:
