    Hello,

    I was wondering if anyone ever heard of:
    http://ranking.websearch.com/
    It's similar to alexa.

    Surprisingly it has some very different stats than alexa.... i guess showing that both of them aren't very reliable.
    Also, you can finally see the ranking of alexa which happens to be in the 5k.
    Alexa puts websearch at 11k while websearch puts itself as #15... but i guess that makes sense since people who have their toolbar also go to their site.

    Anyway, just thought it would be interesting to share since I personally just figured out there was another service similar to alexa.

    do you know from what they acquire their statistics?

    edit: i just read how they worked, same as alexa, through a toolbar, except they seem to be a lot smaller.

    Yeah, just another formatting of it...I was wondering that too when I first went there, so it's nothing new really.

    I don't think so.... they have different rankings as alexa.
    As Wyla said, they have their own toolbar that they conduct rankings from.

    A lot worse, I'm not showing I've ever had any visitors to my sites. :(

    I'm not sure what worthwhile data these sites provide. I administer over 400 domains and the data I've seen on Alexa for some of them is bizarre most of the time.

    The one you've suggested here appears a bit slow in updating cos my site has zero data...... mind you its only been there 6 years !! :rolleyes:
