Interesting....I looked up my domain name with the Link Popularity tool, here are the results:
Link Popularity Report
Domain www.delftsman.mu.nu
Alexa Traffic Ranking: 11617
Present in DMOZ: No
Present in Zeal: No
AlltheWeb: 1
AltaVista :56,500
Google: 0
HotBot
MSN Search: 32
Yahoo! :56,500
Link Popularity Total: 113,033
According to the tool:"A site that has a Link Popularity Score of 1,000-5,000 is considered average. A site with a Link Popularity Score of 20,000 is considered popular. Sites with a Link Popularity Score above 100,000 are Internet "Icons"."
So with a score of 113,033, I'M an "Internet Icon"!
All I have to say is that it seems that this tool has some serious flaws; but I needed the ego boost, so I'm not going to investigate any furthur and bask in the undeserved rating, at least until some schmuck comes and bursts my bubble.
H/T to GuyK for directing me to the link and giving me an ego boost when I really needed it.
my pleasure. I don't have much faith in any of this stuff
Posted by: GUYK at November 29, 2005 03:50 PMI guess I'll have to be satisfied with just being popular. What's interesting is that the categories our sites score in are completely different. Although I have a hard time believe not a single site in Yahoo links to me while I get 61,000 from AllTheWeb (what's that?). The stats for Swerve Left came up with:
