jsgolfman Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Just thought you might want to see the latest three month rating for our site. We finally broke through the 100K mark. Alexa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenious Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Alexa is the most biased traffic indicator around...it's retarded that some sights actually use it to determine which sites to give review products to. I understand they need to have some sort of standard, but using Alexa is just wrong. I remember getting denied over at HCW by a manufacturer because we weren't sub 50,000. Got about 5 people to install it and now we're at 10,000....anyway, I have it running right now so one more hit for your guys 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbreb13 Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 Thanks, and I agree with the retarded part. They should look at the site before deciding based solely on numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Yes, it's very frustrating for we smaller sites. It's also very expensive to continually purchase products to review. Luckily, we are starting to build some contacts for sample review material and an get some items on loan. Love your occupation, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenious Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 lol, thanks, I had to go and check to see what I put in there A good idea sample wise might be to see if you can make contacts with other online sites in your area. I know HCW used to share samples with a couple other sites in the early days. Vendors are more willing to send something out if it'll get reviewed by two or three different writers.

jsgolfman Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Good point, that would definitely make it easier on the pocketbook. It would also be good, overall, for our readers. I have about 5-6 sites that I frequent where I trust the reviews. We sometimes review the same products and generally come up with comparable conclusions. Styles may differ, but the ratings are about the same. That's why I go there, I know they are truthful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenious Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Yeah, right now I'm down to about four sites including HCW and here. I lost a lot of respect for a lot of people after reading some KT400a reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruceleeon Posted August 16, 2003 Report Share Posted August 16, 2003 I agree that Alexa ratings are a little retarted.. but right now.. its what might get our leg through the door with our foot. It would be great if some of our readers would install the toolbar. to help with our rating a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Back on the Alexa wagon again. I didn't think it would matter anymore until I requested hardware from an unnamed manufacturer and they denied us because of our alexa rating. So... I installed the stupid toolbar again.

~*77*~ Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Alexa is soooooo terrible. I have a site that continues to grow, but the ranking is plummeting. At one time, well before the site was popular, the Alexa rank was around 15,000... and in no way was it justifiable. Now, traffic has gone up perhaps 50x what it was then, and then rank is down in the 50,000 range. If you get a dozen or so regulars to install it, you can bump your ranking easily... And although I do hate it, I use it since I know so many marketing pinheads out there trust it for deciding what sites are worth sending things too.
