do you really think they wrote a script to parse the websites profile pages? I'm sure it is quite possible, but that seems odd as I always figured Alexa was just a completely automated website. Not only that, but they wouldn't have a proper representation of guests. |
you're right. it is completely automated. They get their traffic statistics from internet users who download an attachment that tracks where they go on the web and sends the data to alexa. I don't know for sure because I don't use it, but I assume they have a place where you put your age and other info in your attachment and it sends the data to them as well as the traffic stats.
OT: Just turned 19. Been gaming since we got our first computer when I was 8. (My parents weren't, and still aren't very interested in new tech.
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
