Alexa & My Students ;)

Posted by Adrian on Mar-31-08
Alexa T-shirtOver the last couple of years I’ve had the opportunity to work with some very clever students. Last year one of them knocked me up this T-shirt based on my site’s Alexa ranking. Tah!

Today when I was hunting for some files I came across it. I ripped into alexa.com to see if the rank had changed and was rather surprised to find that my site had popped up a little in the rankings. My 3 month average is the 417 219th most popular website on the Internet. Sort of makes you all warm and fuzzy inside ;) So I jumped into Photoshop and changed the numbers to what they are today.

On digging around in the stats on the site I found that in certain countries around the world my site’s ranking is much higher. e.g .

Fiji = 2 696 th most popular, Barain = 16 196th, Australia = 44 000th, Quatar = 55 171 and that 5% of my traffic comes from The United Arab Emirates.

It was also nice to see just how many countries are downloading my resources and using them to educate. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/adrianbruce.com

All that said, I aim to keep the site growing. So feel free to get your friends to subscribe to my newsletter and pass my site around those who need the resources. I have heaps more ideas that I want to get online over the coming months esp poetry, 5 minute Science ideas, a heap more Math games, ideas on reducing ‘teacher stress’ and esp the reading games that people have converted to other languages for me to add to the site.

cheers

Adrian
