The Most Popular Nudist and Naturist Sites on the Internet 2/8/11
Time to update the statistics for popular nudist and naturist websites. All data can be easily obtained on Alexa. Statistics valid as of 2/8/11 only.
Please note that I have filtered out all the web sites out there which call themselves "nudist" but are actually picture peddlers, many selling images of nude children. These parasitic sites contain no useful nudist information, in my opinion. The only pay site that I decided to include in my list is Clothes Free International, because although they charge for access to photos and videos, their forum is free and is about the best one on the Internet, and the folks there present what I consider to be a positive image of nudism.
Most websites outside North America are also excluded since no US ranking is available from Alexa.
I have also decided to include some social networking sites, even though they are not necessarily family-friendly and present somewhat of a meat-market image. While not ideal, a lot of AANR and TNS members have profiles on those sites and exchange useful information.
A few high-ranking resorts are also on my list, including a couple which recently lost their AANR charters, just to show how well they do compared to traditional nudist venues.
Gone from my previous list is Skinbook (out of business), Black's Beach Bares (no longer online), International Nudist (no longer online), The Naturist Journal (not updated for over two years), and Cheef's (no longer online). New additions include Lake Como, Young Naturists and Nudists America, and i-naked.info. Even though i-naked.info is based in the UK, it has a relatively high US rank.
So where do people get nudist information on the Internet? In the following list, the first number is Alexa's rank for traffic in the United States, and the up and down percentages reflect a three month trend for the number of pageviews.
1. True Nudists - 51,679, pageviews Down 6%, previous rank 4
2. Clothes Free International - 56,135, pageviews Up 91%, previous rank 1
3. Diary of a Nudist - 78,824, pageviews Down 2%, previous rank 6
4. NudistFriends.com - 92,778, pageviews Up 9%, previous rank 5
5. AANR - 137,978, pageviews Down 37%, previous rank 12
6. Nudist Clubhouse - 170,062, pageviews Up 23%, previous rank 3
7. Young Naturists & Nudists America - 189,975, pageviews Up 130%, previous rank N/A
8. Caliente Resorts - 191,254, pageviews Up 37%, previous rank 10
9. Net Nude - 238,617, pageviews Down 5%, previous rank 7
10. The Naturist Society - 248,250, Up 30%, previous rank 17
11. Nudist-Resorts.org - 260,891, pageviews Down 44%, previous rank 2
12. Sunsport Gardens - 267,573, pageviews Up 10%, previous rank 9
13. The Terra Cotta Inn - 335,092, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 13
14. World Naked Bike Ride - 347,362, pageviews Down 25%, previous rank 8
15. i-naked.info - 357,708, pageviews data N/A, previous rank N/A
16. Lake Como - 444,289, pageviews data N/A, previous rank N/A
17. All Nudist - 447,261, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 19
18. Paradise Lakes Resort - 467,424, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 18
19. The Academic Naturist - 474,157, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 32
20. South Florida Free Beaches - 501,343, Down 7%, previous rank 27
21. Body Freedom Collaborative - 602,511, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 22
22. Naturist Action Committee - 621,761, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 28
23. Topfree Equal Rights Association - 620,541, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 14
24. Terra Cotta Inn Blog - 704,475, pageviews data N/A, previous rank 26
25. Cypress Cove Nudist Resort - US Rank N/A, previous rank 15
26. Nudist Explorer - US Rank N/A, previous rank 20
27. Naturist Christians - US Rank N/A, previous rank 21
28. Nudist Day - US Rank N/A, previous rank 24
29. USA Nudist - US Rank N/A, previous rank 25
30. Nude Hiking and Soaking in the Pacific Northwest - US Rank N/A, previous rank 31
31. West Penn Naturist - US Rank N/A, previous rank 33
Some sites have such low traffic that they are not listed, such as Florida Young Naturists, Bare Oaks Blog, Lupin Lodge, MojoNude, and Heroic Nudist. Other sites such as Living Nude on Tiger Mountain and Sunny Day are incorporated into larger websites, so traffic stats are not available.
The last seven listed are essentially tied since they do not register a US ranking on Alexa. It's surprising that they have weakened so much in the last year in terms of traffic. Another point of interest is the strength of #1 True Nudists, which has apparently benefited from the demise of Skinbook.
Please let me know if you think that any sites were overlooked and I will consider adding them to the list.

I think the first site of that list true nudist http://www.truenudists.com/ (http://www.truenudists.com/) wasn't a serious site cause there is a site very close to true nudist called true swingers http://www.trueswingers.com/ (http://www.trueswingers.com/) for sexual encounter, i don't think that a site for nudist managed by people who also managed a site for sexual encounter can be trustable.
-
The only sites i ever go on are this one, i-naked, naked places and the british naturism site. I dont tend to search for other sites as you dont know what you might find.
-
Meh, this is the only site I use.
I tried True Nudist once... and now here I am. Nuff said ;-)
-
truenudists is ok as long as you ignore anyone who isn't certified. but this is the best site by far, in my experience.
-
Not necessary, to be a certified member on true nudst you have only to send to the direction of the site a photo of you clothed and a photo of you naked with a paper on wich is written true nudist and your nickname, the certiification says that you are a real person but not what's your intention or what you'll do with the charged photos, i found some certified member on true nudist in the other site true swingers.
The only way to use true nudist safely is don't charge any pic.
-
i think i might check some of them out and see what craziness get themselves in to. most of those sites seem to be hotbeds for the unfriendly.
-
I can't help feeling that The Academic Naturist must be a rather niche market.
And I say that as an Academic naturist who has never visited the site.
-
The whole thing about requiring both a clothed and nude picture on truenudists is exactly why I'll never get certified on there..... they do not need to see me nude if I send them a clothed picture of myself...... once I send them anything who knows where it could *accidentally* end up......
i just sent them a picture of me with no shirt on - they accepted it. i don't think they need to see anything too intimate.
-
This is the best forum! :234
Here you can find real people and share ideas and experiences
-
Most of those sites are not even updated.
I say 90% of them are a wash and the other 10% are bull.
-
This one is the only one I regularly go to. I used to be a regular poster on clothesfree.com but their stodgy rules about discussing anything sexual and the number of abusive conservative posters just finally wore me out.
I actually did discover this site thought clothesfree.com tho. Ms. Danee was a poster on clothesfree and linked to this site.
-
The new Skinbook is growing very rapidly, and I have now appointed one of my friends to become a moderator because it was getting too big for me to handle. Danee is a member of it (as are a few other members here).

Alrighty Dario, I'm going to go check it out. I don't want to spread myself too thin
