Firefox and Alexa

[Midano]

My traffic stats on www.dealideal.com now show that a steady 5.5% of all visitors are Firefox users.
That's 5.5% unaccounted for by Alexa (since the toolbar is only available for IE) and it can't be ignored. My Alexa rating has dropped slightly since Firefox was launched even though the traffic is growing.
I know that Alexa's numbers are projected calculations (all users/Alexa users ratio), but with every new FF download, Alexa becomes more and more inaccurate.
I think we'll see a day when Firefox will strangle Alexa and force them to do something drastic in order to survive.

Thats strange but they should really keep up with these things because soon enough firefox will get up there with Internet Explorer and they will fail.

I dont think Alexa is as good as it used to be anyway.

 

[hotrod12]

Yeah but what would be the best alternative to them?

 

[selfmindead]

there arent any real alternatives is there? if there are i'd also like to know.

But i dont have much of a problem with alexa.

OPEN SOURCE is the future and should be supported.

Does my heart good that the world is starting to get it. Forefox rocks & M$ IEjunk sucks big time.

In no so mant years there will be classes tought about Open Source development using Mozilla as an example do how to do it right!

i 100% agree... its still only 15% though... lets not go crazy :P people are however getting the point and this makes me happy haha... keep what people are used to but give some extra features that they dont even know they want... linux is a little bit too much of a change for me though... i just wish windows would lighten up hehe.
