Entry: An obvious Omission Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/an_obvious_omission#3840 Post contents: Scott is absolutely right about the perils of using Alexa to measure relative web-traffic. Two other points. 1. It skews toward sites popular with techies, which is not surprising as they are most likely to download things like toolbars. 2. It is biased against sites that are read during the day by people who work for large corporations. Most corporations tightly control the kind of software that employees can download, and Alexa's toolbar is not usually permitted download. Sent at: 2008 07 04
