March 17th, 2009 No comments

Alexa.com is a well known web traffic statistics website. It tracks websites visited by persons who have opted to install an Alexa toolbar in Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or Sparky plugin in Mozilla’s Firefox. Alexa’s ranking has been criticized over the years for being unreliable but many website owners and advertisers still use it as a measuring stick to rank the popularity of a website.

For many years Yahoo.com was the most trafficked website in the world according to Alexa but recently Yahoo.com has been overtaken my Google.com as the most trafficked website in the world at least for web users with the Alexa toolbar or sparky plugin installed.
