Well, checking my ad-aware logs the only suspicious item I picked up yesterday was a fastclick cookie.

And **monica** , the site says it only checks each individual once a day…

My personal site comes in at 162,758. Not too bad when I look at the rankings of some of the others posted here.

My employer ranks 16,664, but the company whose premises I work at ranks 107 (I’m a contract employee).

Hmm. “People who visit this site also visited:” and it lists a bunch of related sites. How does this work?

(My site at work is in the 12,000s. Not bad, I guess.)

One can only hope the majority of those Storm visitors were looking for morons to laugh at.

I went to [Alexa.com](http://Alexa.com)’s list of the top 500 sites, including descriptions, and was puzzled by this entry:

Stamps and related items? I think that hardly begins to cover it…
