I have looked at this stuff so long now it seems I have internalized many processes of my analysis. Alexa even means something to me, although many claim its basically useless. Google PR does, too, and many claim the same.
I don’t claim PR gets you somewhere that others can’t go without equal PR, which I don’t believe at all, but I do think it does tells you something about trends.
So, if you can read and pay attention to patterns, when you look at things over and over you can receive the data. I think that its probably because everything is relative to everything else.
For instance if I am dropped to a PR3 this time around, you might think I feel bad because I used to be a PR5 for instance. But lets say I come to gripe about it here, and I notice that the CAP home page has dropped from a PR6 to a PR4…. now all of a sudden I don’t feel so bad. :tongue:
If I pay attention to whats happening around me, I’m more able to understand my own position in the scheme of it. Other than that, we’re all just speculating.
It’s kind of fun (especially when your rank goes up!)
