Explicit Content from Compete.com
Sometimes I’m agreeing with the statistics from compete.com sometimes I’m not. For example, I simply can’t see hanselminutes.com and dotnetrocks.com barely registering for meaningful measurement. My wild guess, based on the recent Scoble Show interview with David Cancel, is that compete.com does not have Alexa-style toolbar support—or ISP data for Carl Franklin “properties.” This might imply that the servers under the Carl Franklin umbrella are ‘private’—meaning that an ISP cannot just hand over his hit data.

But for the rest of us—those of us who use shared hosting—the numbers start to move me. I can see GigaOM.com and Anil Dash’s domain dwarfing John C. Dvorak’s Blog traffic. And, of course, I can see traffic to saulwilliams.com trouncing that of kintespace.com. However, in spite of recognizing that competition is often vulgar, it does please me to see that kintespace.com doing better than Tony-award-winning poetri.com! Yes!
What is surprising to me is seeing kintespace.com numbers, according to compete.com, tangled with uprisingradio.org numbers. My assumption was that a show airing on the radio daily—and streaming from the Internet—would produce “rough estimates” far beyond what is shown. Sonali Kolhatkar is just getting started and, in time, certainly will move on to, say, blackprof.com numbers—and we all want democracynow.org numbers!
