It’s interesting that gashakespeare.org dropped quite a bit, but I remember there were some issues with the Alexa link… the link for gashakespeare.org actually went somewhere else. That seems to be fixed, and the current low ranking prevails. Possibly as a result of being out of season.
TheaterReview.com dropped a big chunk. I attribute it to the fact that I’ve started censoring flame wars, and thus interest has waned.
Why do you think Cisco is so high?
Shady backroom dealings, no doubt.
They provide internet interface equipment in exchange for high rankings.
That actually was a serious question. Do you think some sort of internal process is being picked up as web user activity?
It seems very likely.
I can’t imagine that the throngs of teeny-boppers that dominate the web are hitting Cisco on a regular basis.
