JB of Skirmisher suggests that I should “post data from other (sources) and not (just) Alexa” to show a more accurate ranking of selected websites and blogs, most especially mine.

I think JB’s concern is understandable as Alexa only generates data from browsers that have its plugins (Toolbar or Sparky), making the data not representative of the global online community.

I also agree with JB that Technorati data are also good indicators of a blog’s popularity. That explains why the “Blog stats” section of my sidebar has both my Technorati rank and authority, even if they’re not impressive at present.

As a rejoinder of sorts to my previous post, I find it necessary to include other relevant site statistics for both my main website and blog so that online users can better assess if I should be congratulated, which was what Maki, Schumey and dYu did yesterday. (Much as I would want to gather the same statistics for selected websites and blogs, I cannot due to my very tight schedule.)

Just a quick note about risingsun.dannyarao.com’s Unique Visitors and Number of Visits data: The blog started on 29 March 2007, which means that there is no data on it from January 1 to March 28.

So, are congratulations really in order? Your comments will be highly appreciated. Thank you for reading.
