It is claimed by some members that HPC`s ranking has fallen.

They gather their stats by Browsers having their Toolbar installed, I don`t, do you ?

I have more faith in the Forum Logs than a hit and miss method used by Alexa. rolleyes.gif

Even if I knew where to get the toolbar, I probably wouldn't install it. I suspect most people feel the same.

These stats are probably compiled using less than a handful of users. If one goes on holiday for a week, down go the stats.

Me too, I don't see it falling off at all, but it is up and down depending on the news of the day.

We seem to have about 400-500 users online at most times during the working day, with peaks on MPC decision days and when some big housing news hits the mainstream press, to over 1,000 (Most users ever online was 1,132 on Dec 6 2007, 12:15 PM).

Who knows if one member installs it our ranking could go sky high. rolleyes.gif

Imagine my disapointment upon opening this thread & finding out that 'Alexa' was not your Wife of Girlfriend's name.

There was a BBC TV series of that name many years ago, starring the gorgeous Isla Blair.

JUst thought that I'd add this screengrab taken today. 666 users in total. Not bad for a not particularly newsworthy day.

I've yet to read of any HPC poster admitting to having the toolbar installed.

This myth that Alexa stats have any relevance is still being peddled by some. Either they have an axe to grind or are genuinely unable to grasp Charlie's simple argument.

Apparently the site peaked in 2006. given that we had over 1300 people logged in at one point today, I would beg to differ. In 2006, 400 was considered busy.

Alexa stats are for the birds.

If poster Joe Bloggs, one of the 2 or 3 people with the Alexa toolbar installed, was having a kip at the time, Alexa would probably say that visitors had declined 33%.

I have it on good authority that two certain websites appear in secret to encourage their members to install the Alexa Toolbar, evidently they have now passed Microsoft in traffic ranking. biggrin.gif unsure.gif
