I’ve noticed a 40% improvement in the Alexa global traffic rank of dannyarao.com compared to the previous month. From the global traffic rank of 660,773 last October, dannyarao.com‘s global traffic rank as of November 20 is 397,466

However, the Philippine traffic rank of dannyarao.com dropped from 5,354 last October to 6,732 this month, or a 26% decline.

There is still reason to smile nevertheless as dannyarao.com is currently the 9th most popular website in Alexa’s “Journalists” category which has 425 websites. (Finally, I’m in the top 10!)

Analyzing the October and November data from Alexa, some websites of friends and organizations I deal with, as well as one school I attended, had a significant decline in their Alexa global traffic rankings – dlsu.edu.ph dropped by 6%; bulatlat.com, 1%; arkibongbayan.org, 2%; ibon.org, 15%; luisteodoro.com, 25%; and cmfr-phil.org, 18 percent.

On a positive note, I am happy that the following had significant improvements in their Alexa global traffic rankings – upd.edu.ph improved by 51%, pinoyweekly.org, 9%; nujp.org, 9%; and cenpeg.org, 45 percent.

For this particular period, I’ve decided to include other websites and blogs I visit, as well as those listed in the “Journalists” category of my Links page. I should stress that there are some blogs hosted by Blogdrive, Motime and Blogger that are not yet ranked by Alexa as separate subdomains of their respective hosts. (Mong Palatino’s is one of them, even if I know that it’s more widely read than mine.)

As may be gleaned from the data below, you will notice that blogs and websites of progressive organizations and groups have a significant following in cyberspace. I hope that this trend continues so that the new media can be effectively used to disseminate relevant information.

Do you have any interpretation of the data? If yes, please do not hesitate to leave a comment. Thank you for reading.
