[Eego]

As big as what...? You haven't declared anything for me to agree to being big as or to.

you make me laugh, are you coming down Cornwall to meet your girlfriend soon?

[Klydo]

you make me laugh, are you coming down Cornwall to meet your girlfriend soon?

What's my girlfriend got to do with Klydo? :S

Since you want to know she's on her way back down as she moved in with me and it didn't work out. So you can have her back in Cornwall.

Alexa ratings are taken from people with the alexa toolbar installed, they're not accurate atall. Google is by far the most visited site on the planet.

[Klydo]

No they aren't just taken from the Alexa toolbar, the Alexa toolbar is used as part of the calculation but they also incorporate things like hits and traffic.

[Dentafrice]

How do they get these "hits and traffic" then? They have to have some sort of monitoring system, otherwise they couldn't calculate anything.

It is the Alexa Toolbar, unless the sites embed something on their site to calculate it? Such as what Google Analytics does.

Which they get from the Alexa toolbar, there's no magical way to measure the sites without having something to monitor them. Google have no Alexa tracking, they just go by the toolbar.

[Klydo]

Well put it this way, there is no other site out there more acurate than Alexa. Even if it's just from the toolbar that still means it's a fair assumption of how popular a site is. As with or without the Alexa toolbar people are still going to visit the same sites. Therefore it is a pretty accurate cross section.

[L?KE]

Google is still more popular.

If you wana find something, somebody no doubt will say "google it".

Have you every heard someone says "yahoo it"?
