    This is odd, I use Google Alerts to let me know when someone writes about my site. THis came up this morning.
    http://alexadex.com/ad/url/topwebsitetips.com

    They are selling stocks to my website for $7.00 a share. Besides being offended my site is worth far more than that! ::D

    I am not selling stocks. What hapens if they acutally sell some, the buyer will be expecting that they really do have some portion of the say in my site.

    OK, I'm in the wrong DP category. This is a game, you are acting like these are real in a fake stock market. Looks like you still buy and sell (real money), they are just not real stocks.

    Strange Site!

    I would very nicely email them saying you are speaking to your lawyer about the issue. Even if you don't have a lawyer it will scare the crap out of them and they will most likely remove that page.

    Good luck, I hope no one emails you demanding money or anything because they bought your stock.

    New to me! I thought it was real when I first seen it. Had to read the FAQ page to find out it is just a game.

    Now I'm really upset, your site is worth $16,000 mine is worth $7 :(

    Yeah, just a fantasy share game; there's been very little trading on my humble blog over the last couple of years...

    But wait... on AlexaDex mine's only worth a dollar a share :D

    Have to admit though, my vanity has forced me to bookmark this page to see how my “stock” is doing.:eek:

    Glad to see i'm not the only one:p

    price: $23 per share
    shares available: 436 shares
    last price change: 2006-12-15 07:34:06

    This is for one of mine. What does the 436 shares available mean? No time to play around on the site, but just plugged my url into the prior posters link.

    Seems like it relies heavily on alexa to determine your site stock value?

    Correct me if im wrong.

    Looks like it.

    So if everyone invests in one sites stock, hits it hard with our alexa enabled browsers and then sells, we would all be rich:D

    Glad I didn't buy. Your site is down to $5 a share.
