You may already be using Alexa to keep up with daily traffic trends etc and if so, you will suddenly notice that they have started placing adverts directly where you would click the traffic rankings link! A smart move on their behalf as many of us many naturally click on that section!

Another strange thing you will notice is they have no alexa data about their own site and if you wish to purchase adverts on their site, you will not find the number of unique pageview or cpc.

We will assume that for a company bought for 200 million many years back, their own statistics are continuously heading up!

However is this a sign that the trend in basing assumptions on alexa data is going down? Possibly due to numerous other competitors getting in on the game.

Also have you purchased your alexa data t-shirt yet? Some other interesting things that Alexa offers are the more pro deals such as the custom top lists - you can get the top 100,000 sites to parse through if you are inclined but unfortunately not for free. It would seem that you cannot have a url comparison on your t-shirt however. Maybe a daily updated tshirt would be good!

Increase you alexa rank so you can have a nice tshirt
