<p>No, I said Terry was a sexy beast lol. My 9,998 post went to my love of Anita and Sarorah! :D</p>
<p>CC is very popular. How many registered members does CC have anyways?</p>
<p>We moved up like a thousand. Small progress but still sweet! Yay for saving BF's thread :D</p>
<p>It will load spyware onto your computer. It is very hard to get rid of. It keeps coming back.</p>
<p>Alexa doesn't carry any baggage with it that I'm aware of. Like the Google toolbar, Yahoo toolbar, etc. it may trip some spyware filters because it checks the pages you visit to rank them. I.e., if you visit a page, it has to "phone home" to get the ranking information for that page or site. Personally, at various times I run the Alexa and Google toolbars, and have no worries that I'm being spied upon. (Alexa is owned by Amazon, by the way, and I'm pretty sure Amazon won't risk its reputation with any sleazy practices.)</p>
<p>We were confident enough to issue our CC</a> branded version of the Alexa toolbar - I usually surf with it on. The site rankings are far from perfect, but they provide a handy indicator about a site's status. If someone tells you their site gets tons of traffic but their ranking is 1 million+, you know they aren't in touch with reality.</p>
<p>Yeah, I finally learned how to inflate rankings to up to 70,000 :)</p>
<p>The rankings work best for high-volume sites, like Google vs. Yahoo or cnn.com vs msnbc.com. The farther down the line you go, the more they are subject to influence and random variations. The developers say 100K is the ranking cutoff for relability, but even below that there's plenty of variation.</p>
