The SportsFilter info page on Alexa sure is sparse. Our traffic ranking is pretty shabby too. What can you do to help? Install the free toolbar. Maybe then the traffic ranking will go up, and SpoFi will get off the nth page of their search engine (when you do a search for sports discussion)

Just look at their top 500 pages: http://www.alexa.com/data/ds/top_500?p=DestNew_W_t_40_M1 I'm sorry, alexa is not #8.

Well, their traffic only counts people on Windows machines with IE with the Alexa toolbar installed... so obviously its a biased demographic.

that makes sense, since ~40% of rW surfers use Mac, and less than 50% use Windows. I'm sure even less than that use IE.

I don't understand the Alexa ratings at all, and I wonder how/when they're being updated. Spofi's rating (~420,000) seems low - but rW's rating (~700,000) seems absurdly low!
