Google makes it to no.1 on Alexa
My exams are still on and two of them have passed but three are still left but I have a little time now as the third one is after a good gap. One thing and infact the first thing I noticed when I switched to the net after a long time and that really blew me away was Google's rank on Alexa as of 7th March, 2009. It has surpassed Yahoo and is now the most visited site on Earth(mind it earth).
It already has the page rank of 10 and yahoo is already behind in this case. I am speaking about US stats.
Yahoo is second in Alexa.
Youtube is third.
And others are mostly in their original places and my own site just went from 12 m to 2.75 m in Alexa ranking(LOL), in a matter of a mere month.
But that are traffic details. The real criteria for a website's popularity is actually given by Page Rank and mine is still zero (now cry out loud) and it is based on backlinks, not to mention about it.
Now what is interesting and has made me pen down my blog even during exams is the Page Rank Story.
This criteria of ranking website was not Google's idea but an idea of Stanford University and for completely patenting and all this stuff,i.e. completely owning it cost Google a whopping 336m $( whoa, whoa!).
Now all this stuff about this story can be found out more in Wikipedia.
End of Story,
Until next time,
