There is a website called Alexa.com (An Amazon.com company) that ranks websites by traffic. It works in the same way Nielsen ratings work for television. For instance, here are some rankings for some popular websites:
- Yahoo at #1
- Google at #2
- YouTube at #4
- MySpace at #8
Where do referee and umpire sporting goods stores rank? As of today's date, the rankings are as follows (with lowest rank indicating highest amount of traffic over the last 3 months).
- Honigs.com - 655,222
- Ump-Attire.com - 854,929
- Gerrydavis.com - 2,076,973
- Next closest - 2,735,732
For most of this year, I had listed us as the #1 ranked website for officials' sporting goods stores. This was true for several months late in 2006 and early in 2007. Honig's has had the better ranking for at least the last 6 months. I had hoped we'd come back around to justify the #1 comment as it can fluctuate month to month but it hasn't quite happened. I had no choice but to take this comment down as the last thing I want to do is be less than honest.
So I can proudly say "We're #No. 2!", which I think being positioned behind Honig's, a company we have a great deal of respect for, is fine with us.
