DU website traffic takes big jump up compared to small jump for FR

Edited on Thu Sep-02-04 02:42 PM by dumpster_baby

As you can see from the link below, DU traffic has risen sharply compared to FreeRepublic.com

1. I am SO confused... what an odd graph.

Is it upside down? Either way, not sure I see your point, because it doesn't seem feasible that FR would have higher traffic on average than DU to begin with. :shrug:

4. That graph "ranks" websites

Lower numbers are better.

Edit: Look at Google, that'll explain it.

3. I don't get it

The y-axis of the graph looks inverted - doesn't this actually show website traffic decreasing for both DU and FR - with DU having a greater rate of decrease (but more total website hits)?

Color me confused. :wtf:

6. I thionk it measures web ranking not traffic.

So the lower the number, the better. It would appear that both FR and DU are trending upward with DU making larger gains of late. FR seems to be in the lead by quite a margin though.

5. Seems like all the Freepers are here lurking and trolling today

Thinking they are clever. They may learn a thing or two.

Like how to spell for instance!

8. Alexa is NOT reliable...

It is fun to watch how websites move on Alexa, but it is in no way accurate or reliable.
