Mico Santos:
Your blogs do not meet the public discourse criteria and therefore will not be listed. "keu goes to apac in peru" - one of your post headings - indicates more than just your poor spelling.

Will post stats in your required format on Monday.
Thanks Charles - added to watch list.

Since the 16th I've been running an experiment with the Alexa ranking system to look at the site sensitivity in rankings from a single person using it. This is one of the factors used by Tumeke and Halfdone's rankings. I was interested in how much it affected the Alexa ranking. It has been enlightening...
None of the other admins use this because of its tracking behaviors or they run Safari. The Standard's score on this ranking had remained moderately static - from Tumuke nz blog ranking
October 226k nz451
September 221k nz338
August 236k nz388
So I added it to all of my firefox's on the evening of the 15th at home including my work laptop.
Now I spend considerable time pulling pages from The Standard because of the nature of the moderation task - the vast majority of which are admin comment pages. I also have two other page view measures in wordpress.stats and google analytics. Both exclude the admin pages in wordpress.
The google analytics and wordpress.stats showed a steadily decreasing number of page views, as would be expected post-election and as we move into summer.
Alexa now shows a traffic rank of 191k and nz266 rank. As far as I'm aware there have been no other readers starting to use this that read the standard. The rapid decrease started when I started to do my usual operations with alexa running after months of compatitive stability. This happened in about 3 weeks.
It looks to me as if a single person using this can significantly change the traffic ranks at alexa from the sites that they look at. Looks like a good tool to rort the system, especially for a admin of a site who spends a lot of time on their own site.
It does explain a lot of the stepwise changes in the ranking that I've seen that do not appear to relate to measured page views. It looks like there are so few alexa users in NZ, that even one reading the site can change the alexa ranks of a site that they read quitre considerably.
I'll post this over at Tumeke and Halfdone. I suspect that there may be a lot more users of alexa shortly.
Lynn,
Why do you conclude that your use of Alexa alone caused this ranking upgrade? Three weeks is a long period to make that call. Interesting observation, though it may be an unrelated coincidence.
The main reason (which I forgot to put in the above). The average number of pages per visitor is now 2.9 for a 3 month average and 10 for a 1 week average. Those figures have always been in the order of 1.7-2.5.
Incidently, the 1 week average is now 154k on traffic.
Now I know that some of the readers get a bit obsessive, but it really does look more like a sysop doing moderation on the admin pages many times per day.
Not to mention testing code changes on the weekends. I wouldn't be surprised if I pressed refresh 50 times a day, and a 100+ times a day during weekends.
I'm at the computer a lot of time, and I do have a habit of leaning back and scanning messages when I stop for a compile or coffee.
If there were many people using Alexa, then my activities wouldn't shift the numbers so strongly.
The obvious test would be to turn Alexa off and see if the traffic starts rising again. But I'be probably corrupted the test space now.
How about adding http://www.website.net.nz ?
TRAFFIC = 200
