Hey guys,
I used to run this for South Africa (where I'm from) and recently expanded the script to include other countries.
http://top-websites.burtronix.co.za/drupal/switzerland/2013-08-15
That's a list of the most accessed .ch Drupal websites in Switzerland by the Swiss, ranked. It's a weekend project labour of love, so don't be too hard on it ;-)
It uses top sites data I purchase from Amazon/Alexa, strips out all non-.ch domains, then runs Wappalizer (github-hosted JSON analysis logic) against the top sites to determine which runs Drupal.
Kind regards,
Riaan

Congratulations Lukas ;-)
It's always nice when the people who made these top sites post in reply in the local group. It personalises the list so much more.
Nice to have an overview of some swiss drupal sites!

Had some suggestions
Someone in, if I remember, the Japanese group, suggested I buy lists from domain registries, but that's still not going to help us rank them.
The Alexa list that I use for the above listing (sold through Amazon Web Services) reply on enough people having the Alexa toolbar installed. Once they have enough data gathered from that tool to feel they can give a valid statistical ranking, they put the domain on their list. Since I pay per domain returned, I also limit my return set to 15 000 per country, but in the case of .ch domains they did not yet have 15 000, so the limiting factor is just they they do not have enough statistical data on those other .ch websites.
If you, your clients or other users you know visit them a lot, maybe consider installing the Alexa toolbar (I have it installed, but hide the clunky toolbar itself).
Of course, soon we'll have loads of new top level domains and so the usefulness of this Topsites site will come to an end. I'm thinking the only/best way to replace it would be to simply remove the limit by top level domain. Of course for nearly every country their top sites would be filled with Google properties, but it should still make for interesting and useful statistics.

TopDrops.org http://topdrops.org is a new site that is now without branding and more focussed in support of the Drupal community. It parses the top 1 million websites (if all goes well, weekly) to find the top Drupal websites, ranks them and notes the people who built them (as well as their Drupal Association membership).
