\t\t\t\t— The Alexa system has revised its rankings, and they appear much more accurate (according to my intuition), with one caveat: they now throw away sub-domain information, so all Blogspot-hosted sites have the same ranking, 2098, all weblogs.com sites rank 8663, and all weblogger.com sites rank 28,054. Redirected sites flash different numbers as they redirect, like Kausfiles, which ends up lower on Slate than at the original domain. Tech blogs generally do better than they should.
