Interesting tool. Just tried it out. Data is limited to compete toolbar users.

Timmy > As you rightly pointed out, Alexa seems to be erratic with its data and Compete is a good tool that can complement, if not replace, Alexa. Great to hear that they reverted back saying that International data is on the ‘radar’ (hopefully, it doesn’t take too long).

Cheers,

The Compete.com service is pretty solid, but you were right to point out that their data source is focused on the U.S.. I sent an email to the company a few weeks ago about adding an international component and they indicated ‘intl’ is on their radar. They explained that they were focused on making sure they were accurate, which is somewhat refreshing considering the random nature of Alexa.

Anyways, good stuff.

Dude, Not Wanker > The comparison is done just primarily to evaluate the Compete tool. In any case, I did say that I’m using the term ‘meta blogs’ loosely. Like you mentioned, tomorrow.sg is indeed the leader while ping.sg isn’t in the radar, and the results from the tool does confirm the hunch.

Hi dude,
What are you comparing?
1) BloggerSG is a Spam content site hardly representative of Singapore filled with US blog spammers
2) Tomorrow is definitely the leader.
3) Ping.sg is not even in the radar. :)

So I find this post totally useless. :)
