#19 Web 2.0 Award winners

Since I like looking at statistics, I looked at the 2nd place award-winning site, Statsaholic. On this site, you can enter up to 3 different websites, and it will compare the traffic to the sites. So….I entered my blog site, Catalogersblog.blogspot.com and another one of the blogs participating in NNT. Well I got this impertinent message saying that these two blogs were not in the top 100,000. Honestly! What is the world coming to these days? So I then proceeded to compare two of my favorite blogs, crooksandliars.com and huffingtonpost.com and got 3 actual statistical charts: reach, rank, and page view. I wasn’t sure what exactly was being measured—like what is the difference between reach and page view. So I had to hunt around Statsaholic until I found a link to: http://www.alexa.com/site/help/traffic_learn_more, which gave me the definitions of the comparisons. Statsaholic was fun to play around with, though I don’t see that it would be much use to me. For those blogs who are interested in getting companies to advertize on their site, Statsaholic might come in as a good selling tool--If you are listed in the top 100,000 sites.
