Alexa traffic ratings and review of Able2Know.com

 
 
Thu 11 Sep, 2003 01:16 am
Rough estimate of the Able2Know traffic ratings.

http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=379&h=216&r=6m&u=able2know.com/&u=

The Above numbers are just an estimate. For e.g. the last few days (at the time of this posting) show a dip when the server logs (which are actual traffic logs, not a thrid party estimate) show the past two days as being the heaviest days of use in site history.


Reviews of Able2Know posted on Alexa



Alexa is a company owned by Amazon that has a toolbar that web surfers can download and serve as a sampling of web use patterns.

It's like being one of the participants in the neilsen ratings for television. When you have the toolbar turned on your internet use is added to their web use statistics and they can then display the rankings for the most popular sites, related sites etc. Web rating companies such as Alexa are the only way for the public to know what sites get the most visitors because the site's server logs are not disclosed by each site.

The Alexa statistics are the most comprehensive available for web usage but they are still not accurate except for the first few hundred sites because it all depends on their toolbar users and the web use that they report.

Er - does this mean it would help if we got Alexa toolbars? I have no doubt that is a dumb question - but someone has to ask 'em!

It would help the ratings but the ratings are no big deal. I don't care that much about em (I keep the toolbar off most of the time).

Alexa's rankings are really only really accurate for their top 100 sites.

For example, this last week has been the highest week in terms of traffic by far (i.e. 40% more than the previous high), and it's not reflected.
