I’ve always said that Alexa data is a nice tool, but doesn’t give any serious data that can be relied on. Anyone that tries to use Alexa as a tool to promote their website is only fooling themselves and their viewers.

A good tool to use is Google Analytics which I installed here less than a month ago. Once all the data is compiled I'll give you true numbers of visitors.. If you want to drive up our Alexa ranking install their tool bar and browse LRC. Alex only tracks users using their tool bar.

i never really take much notice of Alexa - the results of which are based on site traffic where visitors have the installed toolbar - needless to say the majority of visitors to your site probably won't have the toolbar installed. Only SEO and webmaster people tend to have it installed, and even though im a webmaster i don't bother with it!!!


Here's a great article from Art o Money (http://www.artofmoney.org/internet-business/whats-the-best-way-to-measure-the-rank-of-a-website/) in which the author manages to bring the Alexa ranking on one of his sites from 5,000,000 down to 400,000 using only his own browser, all by himself! Bots are programmed to do this as well.


I'm not going to trash them for what they have accomplished. They have been around longer than LRC and have made a few friends in the industry as well. We are just two different sites with different views that's all. I do believe we have brought something to the race fans in the almost two years now that no one else has. We are not going anywhere no time soon. As long as I keep my day job and can keep paying the bills with the help of our supporting members and sponsors we will only continue to grow.

Visitor Loyalty This graph tracks the number of visits by visitor frequency. The number of visits by visitors who never returned (no loyalty) are indicated on the left of the histogram. The number of visits by visitors who returned over 200 times (very loyal) are indicated on the far right.

Just depends on what you are actually trying to do it's a very small deal to me. If an Alexa rating of 100,000 is considered a milestone to RaceRap they need to set the bar a little higher, both in terms of what they consider to be a good Alexa ranking and the amount of importance they put on this.
