Kiwiblog Stats

As it is end of the month, have taken a look at the various stat packages. First we have Alexa. This only measures traffic and ranks amongst those who have downloaded the toolbar. However in terms of trend, it gives some useful perspective:

This shows Kiwiblog’s rank amongst websites bowsed by NZers (who have the Alexa toolbar). The approaching election really seems to be having an impact, with Kiwiblog now in 90th place. The top 10 are:

  1. google.co.nz
  2. trademe.co.nz
  3. yahoo.com
  4. google.com
  5. live.com
  6. youtube.com
  7. facebook.com
  8. bebo.com
  9. wikipedia.org
  10. nzherald.co.nz
