alexa - any idea why 2 of my domains have the exact same ranking?
 

by exact, i mean *exact*. does this happen frequently?

Both domains are probably pointing/being forwarded to the same location.

For instance if I own domain1.com, domain2.com, and domain3.com - and send them to "AwesomeSearch.com", all # domains will receive same traffic ranking as AwesomeSearch.

hmm. here are the domains:

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...ltra-skin.com/

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...tra-babes.com/

seems kind of weird, but yes most of the traffic goes to a single site...

Alexa is mapping to the same url, in this case ultra-skin.com.
If you click the 2nd url you posted (the ultra-babes.com one), you'll see the stats are really for ultra-skin.com.

yes, i noticed. so what does that mean? and why?

Alexa is virtually worthless.

Your 1,173 beats my 7,208. :(

Are the two sites hosted on the same IP?

Alexa is exactly what it is: a ranking of sites visited by people who use the Alexa toolbar.

:thumbsup

I don't think Alexa.com posts here

Which in turn is - worthless. Alexa does not have the volume of toolbar downloads, nor brand awareness to serve any accurate/relevant traffic data.

I mean if have a < 5k Alexa ranked site, I won't oppose it. However at the same time if my site is 500k+ site, I won't lose any sleep whatsoever. It's just one of those things that have minimal importance (to me, at least).

no, they are hosted across many servers, all with different ips.

Are all the IP's on the same C block subnet? If not, I'm baffled but I'm suspecting thats the case.

Yeah, i've seen the exact same thing with 2 different domains. No idea why it does that.
