quickly climbing the Alexa rankings
LOL, well that we are climbing is awesome. That we are 240K, not so much.
-
@scottalanmiller sorry to dissapoint you more... its moved up 240k to the 409k spot.
-
Ah, poop.
-
So this is interesting, Alexa says that we are 37,959 in the UK and that our traffic is more UK than US!
-
I wonder how accurate Alexa is since it has no means of measuring activity on the site? It treats it like a static web page, not a forum, and gathers stats only based on traffic from search engines, which would make the numbers totally useless.
-
@scottalanmiller no search traffic. Algorithm from their Alexa users. Think those damn toolbars that get installed when you install something else. https://support.alexa.com/hc/en-us/articles/200449744-How-are-Alexa-s-traffic-rankings-determined-

Yeah... that's how they used to do all of it. Maybe they still do. That would make stats on a tech forum totally wrong as IT people don't have toolbars installed, normally.
-
It would also be very hard to categorize as a single page load could be thousands of posts as it is not a page load for each page.
-
On some systems, the page address for any thread is constantly changing to reflect what post is on the screen. I've noticed it on desktops.
Doesn't account for a US/UK discrepancy, but could definitely be recorded as a high number of page views.

Could be, but it is just the URL updating, not an actual page load.

I love conflict resolution though
