- Psyonic 16y agoIt probably isn't, however. Alexa, for example, relies at least partly on the Alexa toolbar to get their figures. I'll venture a guess that most people with the Alexa toolbar installed aren't terribly web savvy, while reddit's audience, for example, are.
- hcho 16y agoYou are right, but they are still useful if comparing two sites targeting the same demographic. Reddit vs Techcrunch is OK, so is Facebook vs Twitter. Reddit vs Twitter probably not so much.
