I love Alexa.com. The site shows you where you rank based on pageviews and unique visitors.
- Cat2008onbroadway.com has a traffic rank of: 1,205,244
- Playbill.com has a traffic rank of: 33,119
- Tylenol.com has a traffic rank of: 102,540
- Cherrylanetheatre.org has a traffic rank of: 3,904,080
- Bankofamerica.com has a traffic rank of: 411
- Broadway.com has a traffic rank of: 24,706
The higher the page rank, the better. Where do you rank?
My blog is up just below Cat2008, but has a pretty high rank in some obscure locations (Bahrain!), and ranked in the top 100,000 in daily traffic for a short period last summer. Alexa is a cool tool, and can be really useful when combined with a number of other analytics sources, but the rankings need to be taken with a grain of salt, because they only reflect a small segment of tech-savvy web users who have installed the Alexa Toolbar. Like other analytics services that gather data about the web at large (as opposed to self-tracking), the numbers might be way off because they’re not coming straight from the source. But that’s getting a little intense for this early in the morning. I have to give Alexa some respect simply because I’m an Amazon freak.
Meetup.com is 956. That’s kinda amazing, I think …
News news: Alexa changed their ranking system the other day.
