    Alexa really changed up how it ranks forums, so that explains the GFY thing...

    No idea on non-forums dropping though I've noticed it as well.

      GFY at one point was in the top 500...

      No way it was anything like that.

      We do 3 to 4 million pages viewed a day and we're in the 8-10kish.

        Alexa figured out their algorithm didn't suck enough ass, so they changed it a bunch of times in the last few months, to make sure that it sucked good ass. Changing the way sites rank making it look like all these sites (mine included) have gone down when in reality traffic is up. Who cares, alexa is at best a slightly useful tool.

          How does Alexa calculate the ranking? by their Alexa toolbar?
          I am always buying traffic and white labels. Hit me up.

            Alexa is fucking worthless. It's totally inaccurate for all practical purposes. The only people who think it's all that are people whose sites are ranked highly ;) Google analytics are much more accurate, imho.

            I have no idea who is using the Alexa toolbar. Other webmasters?

              Totally Agree, did Alexa start cutting checks for being in the top 100? didn't think so. People sure fixate on it though.

                    It's a very good tool to compare sites. And it's a lot more accurate then people give it credit for.

                    I have access to other top competition in my domain and it ranks them pretty well.

                      Thanks for your comments guys and by the way all my sites are adult forums which like "fuzebox" said and they have been well and truly battered :-(
