# Similars.net

> Similars.net finds similar, related and alternative websites. For any domain it lists the websites most similar to it, ranked by a similarity score from 1 to 99%, with each site's title, description, category, language, country and traffic rank. The index covers millions of websites, added by users and refreshed every night. Free to browse; a JSON API is available.

## How to use it

- Alternatives to a website: `https://similars.net/alternatives-to/{domain}` (example: https://similars.net/alternatives-to/ebay.com). Each page starts with a one-sentence answer naming the top alternatives, then the full ranked list, then a short FAQ about the domain.
- Websites about a topic: `https://similars.net/sites-about/{keyword}` (example: https://similars.net/sites-about/certification)
- Top websites for a phrase: `https://similars.net/top-websites/{phrase+with+plus}` (example: https://similars.net/top-websites/practice+exams)
- Websites by category: https://similars.net/categories

## How the similarity score works

The score combines: topic overlap between the sites' titles and descriptions (about half the weight), a shared category, sites users submitted as similar (shown as "Verified"), co-occurrence in the site-to-site similarity graph, and visitor up/down votes. Scores are recalculated nightly. Traffic rank comes from Rankeez.
