According to info.alexa.com, the Straight Dope Message Boards are the 8,497th most visited site on the web.
Just thought y’all’d like to know.
Carry on.

The rankings seem kind of strange. How did two Korean sites get to be number 3 & 4, above even Google? In fact, browsing through the top 100, there seems to be a disproportionate number of Korean sites, outranking many Japanese and Chinese, not to mention English, sites.
Browsing further, I see that the rankings are actually based on the number of requests received through the Alexa toolbar.
Well! I’m just glad we made the fabled Top 8,500!
Alexa generates particularly skewed results. I have had this argument with my Techy boss about the website I run - his claim that only Techies visited (and the site’s corprorate message should reflect this) was based only on Alexa. Grrrrrr.
Alexa who?
www.alexa.com, where the rankings appear. We did get a rating of 4.5 out of 5, though.
