Istoryans, pa-help ani beh.

How do you search in alexa for top forums? I got confused with my results. I'm been having top 500 sites instead of forums.

How do you search correctly for forums in alexa?

Help!

just tried this, posted "top forums"

Naa man ranking numbers sa search results. And the websites have forum sections.

I tried that but the rankings are all over the place. What does that mean?

Example: The search is top forums, then we have:

Big Boards
Rank:20,211

ddlrank.com
Rank:70,991

minecraftforum.net
Rank:3,305

ABestWeb
Rank:5,457

and so on and so forth...

How come Big boards is on top of the list when its rank at 20,211 and minecraft is 3,305? Is the ranking all screwed up?

The rankings mean a lot of things. Alexa has a database which monitors a lot of statistics of websites globally. e.g. unique visitors, regional traffic ranks, search queries and etc.

Here's a sample ranking for istorya.net from Alexa.com's perspective:

Pero sa searching through top forums, ang nasa ibabaw jud ang top 1 sa forums bisan mas ubos ang iyang ranking sa top 3 or 4? Ana ba ang pagsabot?

the lesser the number sa ranking mas better ang site compared to others with the same category. For example sa link for the alexa.com output for istorya.net according to their web analytics data 69 sya sa pinas. This is a good number considering there are hundreds of forums na active sa pinas.

Here's an excerpt for istorya.net to get a jist of their service:

"Statistics Summary for istorya.net
There are 13,256 sites with a better three-month global Alexa traffic rank than Istorya.net. We estimate that 72% of its visitors are in the Philippines, where it has attained a traffic rank of 69. The site is relatively popular among users in the cities of San Francisco (where it is ranked #10) and Cebu (#11), and roughly 27% of visits to the site consist of only one pageview (i.e., are bounces). Visitors to Istorya.net spend approximately 48 seconds on each pageview and a total of seventeen minutes on the site during each visit."
