Dammit Alexa!

It's been countless days since I last shared some info here. I blame it on my job and my sparetime interests.

Regardless, I just realized something today when I was checking up on stuff on Alexa.com. (Alexa is a register of basically all of the worlds websites, ranked by amount of traffic.) How they collect the data, and if it can be considered accurate is not the subject of my post this time around.

However, my current ranking (vikkel.com) was a bit of a surprise to me. I rank 4,298,595 in their list. Wow I'm in top 5 million. What is interesting here I guess, is how other Danish sites rank in comparison. Carlsberg.dk rank 803,034 (about 5 times better than me), which is not very impressive.

Microsoft.dk however, ranks at 3,700,343 - which means I only have to be a little more active to generate as much traffic as the Danish Microsoft office. Makes you wonder what the hell they are doing out there in their fancy office. Obvoiusly their marketing dept. should consider working faster if they don't want to be passed by yours truly on alexa.

Ok, enough blabbering for now, welcome back to hopefully a lot more posts coming

I have always been a bit embarrassed about my site scoring only 1,233,732 - see here http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/brams.dk

Thanks for encouraging me with the figures on Carlsberg and Microsoft Denmark ;-)
