Pendleton is becoming a tourist town and advertising is an important method of enticing visitors to the city. Utilizing websites is a powerful advertising tool. Websites provide information to the entire universe at a relatively low cost. You can reach a large audience with minimal resources using a website which anyone can access via a computer or cellphone. Based on research by tiptoptens.com the following websites have the highest traffic in the United States according to Alexa.com. The list consists of only Pendleton based websites. For example a large corporation website such as Safeway with a section to Pendleton was not included. The Pendleton Woolen Mills website would have been at the top of the list, but since headquarters is located in Portland and there are other factories, it did not meet the criteria for this list. Although the EastOregonian serves more than Pendleton, the contact information for the website lists Pendleton therefore met the criteria. Ranking was as of 8-8-2018
