Stop Pop-ups and get more website information!
You can get all this information by downloading the Alexa Toolbar! The Alexa Toolbar automatically provides you with information about websites and also stops those dreaded pop-ups! Alexa (www.alexa.com) is a company that is owned by the very famous Amazon.com, which collects information about websites and makes it available to the general public.
The Alexa Toolbar tells you the rank of a website. Basically the higher the rank the more visitors and traffic that a site gets; usually this also means that the site is more trusted. For example, a site with a rank of 2,000,000 would get only around 30 unique visitors a day - not much traffic is experienced by this site. Sites with ranks of 100,000 get around 200-300 visitors a day. The Mr.Gadget website (www.mrgadget.com.au) currently has a traffic rank of around 22,000 which results in around 2000 unique visitors a day which makes it one of Australia's fastest growing shopping sites!
Here are some comparisons for you:
Mr.Gadget (www.mrgadget.com.au) vs Harvey Norman (www.harveynorman.com.au):
Mr.Gadget (www.mrgadget.com.au) vs Harris Technology (www.ht.com.au):
Note: the information in the graphs above are readily available off Alexa. You can make your own comparisons!
This information is helpful to the public, especially those who are doing online shopping. Personally, I wouldn't buy off any internet webstore unless they had a rank of at least 250,000. A website of this rank would at least have decent traffic and it shows that other people are trusting this website for shopping. There are a whole lot of other things to look out for, but knowing that people actually visit a website means that there's at least some trust for that site.
The Department of the Treasury has provided a list of 10 things you should check before buying on any internet store (click here).
Increase Traffic and Visitors to your site!
For those interested in getting more traffic and visitors to their websites, the team at Mr.Gadget now also provide services to help Australians get their sites exposed and get their own shopping sites up and running in no time! Email webdesign@mrgadget.com.au for more information.
Don't forget to download the Alexa toolbar here to stop those nasty pop-up ads and to give you more information about the websites you're surfing. More information on the internet, will lead to more trust! (hopefully).
