#1 is the most visited site on the internet. Usually that is google.com. From there, the higher the number, the fewer people who visit the site (and possibly the shorter their time at the site).
So, at the time those numbers were given, whitehouse.gov was the 3,444th most popular site on the internet, freerepublic.com was the 4,056th most popular site, glennbeck.com was the 8,890th most popular site, and so on.
If you look at the rankings next week, or next month, you'll might see acorn.org and the glennbeckrape... jump significantly. Just the traffic from people on this thread checking those pages will probably boost them by thousands of positions (lowering their ranking number).
That tabel of alexa rankings is measures how popular sites are.Isn't that traffic ranking a bit deceiving/a bit deceptive?
Just asking, but I seem to remember a discussion on this before.
acorn.org has one main entry point whereas FR page 'hits' look to be via several different entry points so acorn.org would show many more main page hits by Alexa ...
I was trying to figure out why someone who is not an acorn employee would copy tags
from a low traffic site like acorn instead of just using the one at Glenn Beck's site:
<meta name="keywords" content="Glenn Beck" />It's a mystery, and for some reason it reminds me of the helicopter paranoia song
