VGChartz specializes in video game sales, but it lacks respect in terms of reviews, news, etc.

Hey, there's a Video Game Sales Wiki.

http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Video_Game_Sales_Wiki

We should inform them of the existence of VGC, and say they can use our numbers if they put a huge "POWERED BY VGCHARTZ" picture at the top.

POWERED BY VGCHARTZ! How's that? lol

Hey, we're getting tons better in reviews and news.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Well, it does not really surprise me that "video sales" beats us out. I mean, the movie industry is still considered top dog. Add to that youtube (which will probably score the word "video" a lot more times then us anyway) it's a lost cause.

Us being on top when searching for video game sales, game sales, etc is a big enough feat. VGChartz has a niche where it provides with it's core-concept - sales figures - and I don't think we will be able to compete with the big boys when it comes to just serching for games. The amount of traffic and sponsoring those sites attract is just to humongous to tackle anytime soon. Perhaps in the long term people...

Be glad we edged out neogaf ;)

This is the truth.

Vgchartz's comes 6,589th in traffic rank among all sites in the world. In the U.S., it comes 3,845th.

Source is Alexa.

Not bad rankings at all. Especially considering the amount of porn sites there are.

Thank you Alexa.

I've gotten VGChartz mentioned on N4G and a couple sites before. On N4G it was the hottest thing for a week. I also occasionally mention VGChartz on Sega blogs.
