Alexa Updates Traffic Stats Console – New Features Added
Yep, I admit it, I take a peak at my Alexa stats every now and again. It gives me a good idea of trends, and my site is in the right nice for their tracking analysis.
Today I saw a few added extras at the bottom of the page:
Interesting because I never would have imagined those country stats. I’m not sure on the timeframe used for computing those stats, but it might be interesting to compare them with Google Analytics.
I would also wonder if the level of comment and referral spam I’ve been getting correlates to anything in the report?
I look at them the odd time myself for work. Ours seems to be in line with what Google Analytics is saying.

Interesting. I must dig deeper someday when I actually have some spare time
Thanks Anthony

I’d say yes, it does correlate. The amount of comment spam from Pakistan on some of our sites is amazing.

You said that not me. I love Pakistani ‘SEO’s. If you are a Pakistani ‘SEO’ and take offense please go vent on Dave’s blog.

I never said anything about their SEOs I simply stated a fact that a lot of our comment and actually referrer spam comes from there.

There I go again. Putting 2 and 2 together and getting 9.
Anyhow, if there are any Pakistani ‘SEO’s out there ‘hello from Dublin’.

That’s cool.
Now all I have to figure is how to get my site up another 700k places so that I actually see more information.

I’ve started to publish articles ezinearticles.com to see if that will bring some link love.
Cheers,
