alexa and overture a bunch of hype

Yes thats what I think. If you read how ratings are determined they are figured out by (Alexa users only) It is determined by people who use the alexa toolbar. How many people use the alexa toolbar? I never heard of alexa until i came to this forum. so the deal with placing a value on your domain using alexa stats means pretty much nothing. Its another deal like overture trying to pump up sales for domains.

... you are so right! entering a domain name in the Overture Suggestion Tool like this "domainname.com" (without the quotes) is a total waste of time to determine possible typeins ... and to back it up with typing it in with just "domainname" (without the quotes), is a total waste of time to determine possible typeins ...and then type it in with "domain name" (without the quotes) is a total waste of time to determine possible typeins ...

... eddie1278 ... thanks for showing us the way ...

Was the rage in 1998-99. Still is with Alexa and Overture. The only benchmark I use is Google Adwords. It's amazing what you can learn on the relationship between traffic and search engines.
