Does anyone use Alexaholic?
What does "Daily Users (per million)" mean?
Does it mean out of one million users online, this is how many this site gets?
I think I'm right;
What are Page Views?
Page views measure the number of pages viewed by Alexa Toolbar
users. Multiple page views of the same page made by the same user
on the same day are counted only once. The page views per user numbers
are the average numbers of unique pages viewed per user per day by the
users visiting the site. The page view rank is a ranking of all sites
based solely on the total number of page views (not page views per user).
The three-month changes are determined by comparing a site's current page
view numbers with those from three month ago.
Page views per million indicates what fraction of all the page views
by toolbar users go to a particular site. For example, if yahoo.com has
70,000 page views per million, this means that 7% of all page views go
to yahoo.com. If you summed the fractional page views over all sites,
you would get 100% (this is not true of reach, since each user can of
course visit more than one site).
Alexa Says YouTube Is Now Bigger Than Google. Alexa Is Useless
We’ve gotten a few “tips” that YouTube has actually grown larger than Google in terms of page views according to Alexa
.
This is, of course, complete fiction. And it shows just how useless Alexa has become as a method for measuring web traffic and reach. Comscore tells a much different (and more accurate) story - Google is nearing 100 billion monthly page views; YouTube sees around 16 billion.
Even newcomer Compete, which measures traffic in a similar way as Alexa, seems to be getting it right. Alexa needs an overhaul. It’s long since become less than useful.
Doesn't anyone ever wonder why people add "holic" to the end of words? It came from "Alcoholic", but the word "Alcoholic" is the word "Alcohol" with the suffix "ic", not the word "Alco" with the suffix "holic."
Doesn't it seem right to use the suffix "ic" instead of "holic?" I mean, people aren't addicted to Alexahol, they are addicted to Alexa.
