Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:49:00 GMT

When a news story broke a few days ago about Senator John McCain's technical adviser having said, "John McCain is aware of the Internet," I was reminded of McCain's own earlier admission that, "I'm an illiterate who has to rely on my wife for all the assistance I can get." While it's debatable whether the leader of the free world might need to know how to use a computer in order to understand

Oil and Gas Prices Increase Traffic to Price Comparison Tools (Alexa - Web Discovery Machine)

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:06:00 GMT

I remember when, a few years ago, I first started to notice websites with aggregated, user-submitted gas price information, essentially gas price comparison tools. While I don't drive, these things seemed like a lot of work to me. First, you'd have to have enough people in your area know about the sites. Then, you'd have to have enough people care enough about the sharing of information to post

Top Ten Social Networking Sites (SEOCentro - SEO News)

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 15:20:32 GMT

The Friday Traffic Report has an interesting post on what are the Top 10 Social Sites By Alexa Rankings . Alexa is not the most reliable of ranking services although in this case, they may be fairly close. Social networkers appear to use the Alexa Toolbar in greater numbers than non social networkers.

Mothers and Sweethearts (Alexa - Web Discovery Machine)

Fri, 23 May 2008 23:40:00 GMT

Sometimes, Internet traffic data makes one scratch his or her head. In reviewing the traffic over the last six months to flower and gift sites, I've noticed something I can't quite wrap my brain around. When comparing the traffic of three major online florists and one gift site, Tiffany.com, I notice something interesting: moms don't make out as well as sweethearts. For all of these sites,

Alexa Rankings - how accurate are they? (Killersites.com)

Thu, 08 May 2008 14:01:52 GMT

One of the Web’s most popular places to get an idea of a web site’s traffic is Alexa.com. There is one major problem though: Alexa is not accurate at all. Alexa gets a lot of it's traffic data from its’ Alexa toolbar and other nebulous source they don't identify. So that leads me to think that [...]

Good Golly, it's MOLI (Alexa - Web Discovery Machine)

Is the graph to the left an indication of another social networking site crossing a threshold? The newish site MOLI just hit my radar as I was watching some graphs of recent Mover sites that aren't overnight spikes followed by a return to their former levels. This one has been on a steady climb for at least a few weeks. I've seen enough of these things come along over time to recognize the

Alexa rankings changes it's methodology (Money Money Money)

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 03:28:00 GMT

We are all familiar with the Alexa ranking system that aims to tell how much traffic a website gets. However this ranking was flawed as it extrapolated information from those readers who had the Alexa Toolbar installed on their browsers to track what they read. The people with the toolbar installed tend to be mainly techies and webmasters - most of the general public hasn't...

So the rank you got was basically based on the Alexa community. And since many users didn’t use the Alexa toolbar and it was also not available for many platforms, it [...]
