Alexa ranking to share a simple common sense

2009-04-21T22:48:00.000-07:00

April 1996, Alexa was founded in the United States, when it is just a small site, the main navigation so classified. In that era, many sites are Yahoo Fans, Alexa just one of the many who follow the trend of the one. However, Alexa also has a number of technical, is to visit a Web site traffic statistics and analysis. Later, Alexa integrated resources become popular website ranking authority. I like to share with you the following for common sense under the Alexa ranking:

A ranking of the assessment methods?

1, the same day assessments ranked a day.

Mainly in the daily assessment of a site in the past day, the situation of the global and regional rankings.

2, one week to assess the weekly rankings.

Mainly in the daily assessment of a site in the past week the top global and regional situation.

3, place on a monthly assessment.

Mainly in the daily assessment of a site in the past month the top global and regional situation.

4, the final world ranking position.

Mainly in the weekly assessment of the site Monday in the past three months the situation in the global and regional rankings.

Second, the assessment criteria?

1, have installed the Alexa toolbar users visit the PV, and IP.

Personally think that the assessment of your site's ranking depends on Alexa toolbar users visit the IP and PV.

2, site of the PV region and IP conversion rate ranking.

And geographical position brought about by the impact of the gap.

3, the site history ranking.

The main impact of the global ranking, statistical theory, the longer changes in the smaller ranks, daily IP, PV out of the smaller, but bigger.

Third, the region ranked PV and IP conversion rates.

Without this there has been no official statement, but in fact a large number of evidence indicates that this argument exists. For example: Europe and the United States Alexa toolbar installed on the user far more than China, because of language barriers to Europe and the United States Web site users to visit a small number of users in China have the Alexa toolbar installed on the user is also less so for China's IP and the site statistics from the PV to be far less than the actual number, and how to bring the region's ranking factors affected? would only rely on the conversion rate.

Fourth, the world's website went down the altar.
http://www.softwarera.com/software_download/r_11_1.shtml

In the search engine just before the birth and the birth of an era, the site was once the world's a web site the most important indicator of authority. Web sites attract a lot of wind to vote, such as the media have the world's Web site as a reference standard, with the search engine's development and maturity of the world's Alexa ranking is no longer an important standard of reference. It is concerned that the site in search engines and ranking weights, and the fact that the Web site in the world ranking with search engines and ranking weights did not intrinsically linked, so site slowly walked down the global ranking of the altar, in the the near future will soon become history.

Mad Catz's brilliant Rock Band Portable Drum Kit for Xbox 360 now on sale

2008-09-23T03:50:00.001-07:00

No two ways about it, Mad Catz has a winner on its hand with this one. The Rock Band Portable Drum Kit for Xbox 360 is a complete skins kit designed to be shoved into most any backpack and played on nearly any solid surface. The rubber pads are designed to handle over a million strikes, though that antique coffee table you lay these on may, in fact, not be designed to withstand such abuse. For those not exactly kosher with a full-fledged kit consuming the den, this seems to be the perfect compromise. And hey, it's only $59.99 to boot. Ships "soon," but not "soon enough."[Via OhGizmo]

Amazon music, movie downloads coming to T-Mobile G1?

2008-09-23T03:47:00.001-07:00

Amazon's always looking for creative new ways to distribute digital media -- and in light of its recently-launched Video On Demand service and the decent head of steam AmazonMP3 has managed to build, it'd probably just love to shoehorn its way onto a high-profile mobile device right about now. VentureBeat is reporting a juicy rumor of a G1 that made an appearance somewhere in San Fran's seedy underbelly over the weekend bearing an Amazon music and video app designed to dole out media for cash, suggesting that Android's first commercial hardware might come out of the gate ready not just to lock horns with the iPhone's WiFi App Store, but also to straight-up beat it by throwing in movie and TV download capability. Then again, no 3G network -- particularly one with as small of a footprint as T-Mobile's -- is mighty enough to effectively do feature-length movie downloads over the aether, so it remains to be seen exactly how this would all play out. Get a good night's sleep this evening, folks, because if everything goes according to plan, we'll have some solid answers in just a few short hours.

Suspected ASUS P565 turns up, gets detailed

2008-09-23T03:45:00.000-07:00

Nothing is quite official about this ASUS phone just yet, but the current speculation is that it's actually the ASUS P565 and, judging from some newly-detailed specs, it looks like it shouldn't have much trouble attracting its share of interest. Leading the way is a speedy 800MHz Marvell Tavor processor (apparently a first for any phone), and a still relatively uncommon 2.8-inch VGA screen, which should go nicely with the VGA camera for video conferencing (you'll get 3-megapixels for still mages). Otherwise, you can expect European HSDPA connectivity, built-in GPS, a 1300mAh battery that promises 3.5 hours of 3G talk time, and Windows Mobile 6.1 for an OS (with ASUS' Glide software on top of it), of course. No word on a price just yet, but word is this one is on track for a release as soon as October.[Via wmpoweruser.com]

SRS Labs, CSR team up for better Bluetooth audio quality with PureSpeech

2008-09-23T03:41:00.001-07:00

Getting Bluetooth headset voice quality good enough to prevent the occasional "come again?" is a never-ending challenge, giving rise to devices like the Jawbone and the perpetually-delayed Nextlink / Motorola Invisio Q7. Most headsets these days bundle some form of noise reduction and echo cancellation, but SRS Labs and chipset manufacturer CSR want to make it easier for companies to bundle the technologies out of the box (or out of the chip, as the case may be) with a minimum of fuss. The partnership has produced PureSpeech, which bundles SRS' VIP+ software for local voice quality with CSR's CVC technology for improving what your callee hears. The one-two combo will be available starting in the first quarter of next year as an option on CSR's BlueCore silicon.[Via Slashphone]

E-TEN's V900 gets handled, unloved

2008-09-23T03:38:00.001-07:00

Bad camera, poor battery life, a dodgy d-pad, ugly color -- is there anything good to say about the most well-spec'd glofiish in E-TEN's range? Well, yes: with support for not one, not two, but four mobile TV standards under its belt, you'll have a hard time finding a WinMo set out there that's friendlier to telly on the go. Plus, the V900 rocks a flush VGA display and tri-band HSDPA, which are "good things" last time we checked; you're just going to have to put up with flimsy build quality and a host of software and hardware niggles to get 'em. At $700, it's hard to swallow the thought of buying a device this heavily panned in a review, but if you absolutely must be able to switch between DAB and DVB-T with aplomb... well, your crappy phone has arrived.

Toshiba pushes out stylish 400GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive

2008-09-23T02:18:00.000-07:00

Nothing too special about Tosh's latest USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive -- just a good lookin' 400GB unit that should slide into most average sized cargo pockets on the market today. The 6-ounce drive is available in "Electric Blue and Black" (pictured) as well as Carbon Grey, Hot Rod Red and Gecko Green, and while pricing has yet to be revealed, those looking to size it up can chew on these dimensions: 0.65- x 3.19- x 5.0-inches.

Sigma's DP2 compact with DSLR-sized sensor gets even better

2008-09-23T02:14:00.000-07:00

While the update from the SD14 to the SD15 was rather sad, just about any tweak to the bar-raising DP1 compact with 13.8- x 20.7-mm Foveon X3 sensor is reason to get excited. So listen up, Sigma just announced the DP2 -- same 14 megapixel X3 CMOS sensor only now coupled with Sigma's improved True II image processor and 24.2-mm F2.8 glass equivalent to 41-mm on a 35-mm SLR. No pricing or ship date announced.[Thanks, David Z.]

ASUS' FV6 scented laptops now on sale: gotta smell 'em all

2008-09-23T02:07:00.000-07:00

We're still struggling to believe that these are real, but apparently ASUS really is going to sneak a few scented laptops out to the eight prospective buyers still willing to pull the trigger after thinking it through. After being announced among of a slew of other machines late last month, the FV6 series of Fragrance Notebooks is up for sale right now. $1,274.99 gets you the FV6-C1, which evidently smells just like the color blue.

NTTA to Metroplex Drivers: We Know We Promised, But...

2008-09-23T00:32:00.000-07:00

NTTA to Metroplex Drivers: We Know We Promised, But...
Last year saw an epic battle in Texas between the North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) and a private consortium for the rights to build the State Highway 121 (SH-121) toll road in the Metroplex. NTTA ended up getting selected for the project and the rest is history. At the time, I brought up an important issue about the implications of giving NTTA the contract on the region's ability to meet its larger mobility needs:
[...] NTTA's risky financing approach would have it borrow against its entire road system to undertake this one project, jeopardizing its ability to undertake the other planned regional toll projects it has already committed to, including the SH-360, SH-170, Trinity Parkway, and PGB Turnpike extension projects. There's a limit on the ability of public agencies to issue new debt, so tapping into their bonding capacity now for the SH-121 project would likely reduce the amount that NTTA could borrow in the future for the projects they've already committed to. [...]
NTTA's attempt to pull the rug out from Cintra/JPMorgan—which won their tentative SH-121 contract through a fair and competitive bidding process—should be viewed by citizens and policymakers with a skeptical eye. And given their strong lobbying for the anti-competitive provisions in SB 792 giving local toll authorities first dibs on most future toll projects, it becomes evident that NTTA's primary interest is in achieving a monopoly on Metroplex toll roads, despite the inherent benefits that drivers and taxpayers derive from true public/private competition. [...]
As much as NTTA would like to run off the private sector and reign supreme over future Metroplex toll projects, this would be counterproductive. The region needs all of the sources of funding it can get, both public and private, to build the new capacity needed to address the ever-growing congestion problem. A rejection of the tentative private sector contract would scare private investors away from the table, sending a strong message that Texas is a bad place to do business.
Before its final selection next week, the RTC needs to think strategically over the long term and carefully consider risk in their deliberations over SH-121. The astute observer would likely conclude that NTTA's bid is full of extravagant promises that will be hard to deliver and would threaten the region's ability to address its future mobility needs.
And now, a little over a year later, we see direct evidence that NTTA may have already overextended itself, casting serious doubt on its ability to not only build the roads it has already promised the region, but also to build the new toll roads needed in the Metroplex in the future to keep pace with rapid growth in the population, as well as goods movement.
Radically shifting fortunes on Wall Street have left the North Texas Tollway Authority scrambling to keep a key promise it made last year when it won the right to pay $3.2 billion for the State Highway 121 toll road. On Wednesday, NTTA made clear that its ability to keep that promise has been compromised by the nation's financial uncertainties. [. . .]
That the agency would be struggling to borrow money for SH 161 is surprising on a number of fronts, not least because that road, like the larger SH 121 deal, is one of the few toll projects NTTA has promised to deliver that is expected to be profitable.
Some critics, including the executives at the Spanish firm NTTA beat out last year for the SH 121 project, allege the authority is simply overextended. To the firm, NTTA's delays on SH 161 foreshadow problems it will have with finding money to pay for many of the projects it has promised to build.
"They mortgaged every room in the house," said Jose Lopez, North American president for Cintra. "They don't have the leverage left to borrow the money they need for the long list of projects they have promised. Sure, there may be value there in 10 or 20 years, but does Dallas-Fort Worth want to wait that long for those roadways?" [. . .]
NTTA says it's not overextended. Instead, the NTTA is facing a temporary credit crunch that will ease once the credit market rights itself, officials there said. But NTTA president Jorge Figueredo has said that the agency's ability to keep promises made a year ago will probably depend on how soon the credit markets stabilize.
"We have been looking at all the projects on our list, and looking at when will these projects be ready to go, when will we actually need the money to get started?" he said. "But if the markets continue to go sour and TxDOT and RTC and ourselves don't have ability to leverage each other, then what we thought was possible a year will likely not be possible." [. . .]
Michael Morris, transportation director for the North Central Texas Council of Governments, said NTTA's delays are worrisome, especially because other sources of road funds – including the state – are also under increasing strain.
"This is very important," Mr. Morris said, noting that NTTA's original plan included paying billions for SH 121, while still having enough available for additional projects. "If you go back to last summer, when the vote for 121 was held, I think the regional transportation council said, 'We know there are some risks out there, but we want to vote for our partner. And NTTA is our partner.' " Now it's time for NTTA to figure out a way to reward that faith, said Mr. Morris, who was among the fiercest advocates for letting Cintra build SH 121.
This is what happens when politics trumps sound procurement policy. Had the RTC been more interested in metropolitan mobility—its primary concern—than playing politics with toll roads and bestowing de facto monopoly status to a local public toll authority last year, they would have probably chosen a different course. [Wonder how many RTC commissioners would love a mulligan on that vote— the worst kept secret in DFW is that NTTA's burning bridges in their aggressive quest for regional domination, so there's definitely some buyer's remorse setting in.]
To be clear, there's a role for both public and private sector toll authorities. But the NTTA case is a perfect illustration that there's a limit to what government-run toll enterprises can achieve in the real world. They operate in a fundamentally different market than concessionaires and have limits on what they can finance. And the Metroplex's needs list is far larger than what NTTA can finance over the next several decades, I assure you.
If Texas politicians weren't so eager to thwart transportation PPPs, then maybe they'd stop to realize that without PPPs, cities like Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio are never going to be able to meet the mobility needs of fast growing urban populations.
