"Mirror mirror on the wall, whos the fairest of them all?" Im going to bet that its not you, um I mean, not your internet page
. With all of the new web sites
popping up all over the place how do you know where you rank? How popular is your site compared to the next one?
In most cases its safe to say that we all want our website to be popular. Maybe it means our business will be more profitable or maybe its just grand for the ego. Now there is a internet page
that ranks the popularity of your internet site
. The website is http://www.alexa.com.
Alexa.com is a blast to make use of
and is one of those web sites
that is hard to leave. For starters, Alexa.com lists the most popular websites starting from the #1 position. It also lists the Movers And Shakers, which are web sites
that are rapidly gaining or loosing popularity on the web. Alexa.com is a sizeably efficient tool for discovering new websites to visit because you can see where every one
else is going. Its fun, informative, and might
be a grand tool for comparing your internet site
to the competition.
So how does Alexa.com work? In 1997 Alexa.com created a tool bar that tracked which websites all the people visited on the web. The tool bar was incorporated into early versions of NetScape and Internet Explorer. Today there are over 10 million Internet users who browse the Internet while using some form of the Alexa.com tool bar. These users are constantly creating statistics about their browsing habits. Alexa.com uses the data to create reports that outline the popularity of web sites
on the Internet.

address (www.yoursite.com) into the search the web box and press go. It will send you to a page full of statistics showing you how popular your website is right now. Just remember that being popular isnt the only important thing in life. There are grand looks, funds
, and Monday Night Football too.
