Alexa is crap, but now Firefox people can game it, too
Alexa has finally released that Firefox toolbar they’ve been promising for ages. Alexa’s rankings bear only the occasional coincidental resemblance to reality when it comes to comparing site traffic. For a while, most of my sites were going up, up, up in Alexa as their traffic grew or stayed on plateaus. For the past few months they’ve just plummeted, despite traffic growing.
By installing the toolbar, I can help to boost my own sites. Oh, it’s all crap, but what the hell.
