According to Alexa not in the top 100,000 sites

[UsefulThings]

After a year I would think this site would be doing better than it is. I just visited Alexa and according to Alexa this site is not in the top 100,000 sites. Exactly where it stands is unknown but I do know that if it is to go anywhere at all something needs to be done.

Alexa site ratings are generated using the number of visits to various sites by users who have installed the Alexa software. Since the number of those users is an absolutely tiny percentage of the number of web users as a whole, placing any value on the number generated by Alexa seems like a waste of time.

As Alexa is spyware i find it reassuring that EBID isn't featuring with them

Gazza asked on the forums a while back how many users had their toolbar installed, as you can see, only one of those who replied used it.

Since Alexa is not universally installed the statistics it provides are really meaningless.
