| paulas | Posted – 11/19/2007 4:17:48 PM | show profile | email poster I have been watching my site visits and using those in-house web analytics to gage our ranking and to promote our brand in preparation for adding advertising. But I was astounded to see where our website ranked when I started using Netcraft's site ranking and anti-phishing tool for Firefox browsers. There are over 140 Million domain names registered in the world wide web. As we are a book group social networking site, I discovered that our site, www.bookbuffet.com ranked 118,330 (that's in the top 8%) which is in the same range as www.health.com (118,305). Here is how other book related websites ranked: Oprah.com (7,478) Media Bistor (11,428) ReadingGroupGuides.com (168,477) and I thought this site would be WAY ahead of me. PENGUIN BOOKS (1,231,516) Go ahead a plug in your site. Here's how. http://toolbar.netcraft.com/site_report?url=http://www.bookbuffet.com Now I am taking offers for advertising on our site - knowing how popular it actually is. BRING IT ON FOLKS.

| InsomniacNOT | Posted – 11/21/2007 11:24:34 AM | show profile Well, even if it is spam, it's of some interest to the new media types. I vote to let it stand. |
| Seafarer | Posted – 12/1/2007 11:55:06 AM | show profile | email poster Search engine ranking stuff can be very inaccurate, as previously mentioned, so proceed with caution. Note: no one ever says "I netcrafted you" or "I Alexa'd you." ------ My Web site Family Travel blog NHRA drag racing on Fast Machines |
