QuoteIn short, the Alexa ranking system is naturally flawed. The data should never be treated as accurate, as it's easily manipulated, and not supported for most browsers in the world. It's an estimate, and nothing more.

NO FUCKING WAY.

Turn size tags back on. :P

MyndFyre edit: size tags work.  Sizes 1-7 are standard HTML sizes, or if you specify xxpt, then you can go through 99pt.  :P

I realize it's stupidly obvious, but I see people (even people here!) frequently referring to Alexa's useless numbers.

In other news, a recent study showed 67% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Statistics can be used to prove anything.  80% of all people know that.

God didn't create a damn thing.  He was merely the first angel, and then he conned the rest of the angels.

Based on the speed at which topics normally go off-topic in this forum, I'm pretty sure that having ADD is a requirement to be in this clan.
