Brave Tech World

February 7, 2008

    I just published the Seattle Startup Index for January/2008 on the Seattle 2.0 blog.

    Lots of companies/sites being tracked (260 total).

    Sampa dropped two positions but that can be accounted by the two new companies that debuted on the rank ahead of us. The fact is that we dropped our numbers on both Alexa and Compete rankings.

    The Alexa explanation is easy. We were featured in TechCrunch in November and that is just "phasing out", plus, add to that our re-focus into the family space and you get the perfect storm for a dropping Alexa Ranking.

    Compete on the other hand is supposed to be more resilient than that, according to them, but they are clearly not. Google Analytics show us having a gain of 15-20% M-o-M in PV and UU, but Compete shows a drop of about 5%.
