Anyone can say "hey, my website is doing super fabulously." We can only take THEIR word for it. Alexa puts them all on a level playing field.<br /><br />Of course, if you can suggest a BETTER way of comparing web sites - we all would appreciate you sharing it.<br /><br />NBNBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-31374246024195741572007-01-03T15:49:00.000+13:002007-01-03T15:49:00.000+13:00These ratings mean absolutely nothing. Alexa ONLY give stats for people using THEIR TOOLBAR. This is very far fetched to be an aggregate of WEB traffic to a site.<br /><br />This is from Alexa:<br />About the Alexa Traffic Rankings<br />A listing of all sites on the Web, sorted by traffic...<br />Alexa computes traffic rankings by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users. The information is sorted, sifted, anonymized, counted, and computed, until, finally, we get the traffic rankings shown in the Alexa service. The process is relatively complex, but if you have a need to know, please read on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-38760934995788013422007-01-03T14:04:00.000+13:002007-01-03T14:04:00.000+13:00In terms of serious predictions for 2007, I'm thinking that the internet is going to become for the modern ACOGs what radio was for HWA. Look at the number of privately maintained websites, dedicated to spreading Armstrongism. The number is growing! <br /><br />Personally, I've looked to radio and television in my attempts to detect any major Armstrongite presence or influence. It is nowhere near the level achieved in the '70s, when HWA and GTA were names known practically in every household. For the first time in decades, I saw a spot ad for a COG broadcast this weekend. It was for Flurry's "Key of David" program in our local area. But, I can't help but wonder if the major influence might be forthcoming from the ol' "information superhighway" in the coming years.<br /><br />Someone I once respected commented towards the beginning of last year that dissident style websites were probably going to die out within the near future, because the COGs are dying. I'm not so sure he got that quite right. Seems like we may still have a lot of work to do.<br /><br />BBByker Bobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-26286306434387849302007-01-03T12:08:00.000+13:002007-01-03T12:08:00.000+13:00Hi Gavin,<br /><br />This COG stuff is getting as serious as radio and TV ratings.<br /><br />And AW is still holding a very good position in the Blog Stakes.<br />I will take a buck each way in the COG HANDICAP for Gerry to be nagging in the rear.<br /><br />Jorgheinzjorgheinzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12464471056433490728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-88930906523333481002007-01-03T03:40:00.000+13:002007-01-03T03:40:00.000+13:00There must be some bleatings over at the den in the lair of a certain Australian cultmeister -- his Alexa ratings are not what you'd expect from reading his shameless self-promotion.<br /><br />As for comparisons, just for amusement, check out <a href="http://www.coxcult.com/UCGvsCCg.html">UCG vs CCg</a>.Douglas Beckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01344539216802653999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-3091419070277400252007-01-02T06:36:00.000+13:002007-01-02T06:36:00.000+13:00RCG place on the ratings has to do with the amount of money Pack spends on google ads.

I often visited the old AW account, usually daily, and was very disappointed when it was no longer available. Thank you for giving us the new AW and the Otagosh sites. I am deeply appreciative.<br /><br />JenJenniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00244387184207217581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28426681.post-14871893256680851312007-01-01T20:49:00.000+13:002007-01-01T20:49:00.000+13:00Happy New Year Gavin!!!<br /><br />May 2007 be a great for you and your family.
