Alexa Ranks Ping.sg Above Tomorrow.sg!
3 Apr 2007 (Tue)PING.SG’S RANKING IS ABOVE TOMORROW.SG — according to Alexa. AND Ping.sg is among the top 100,000 sites now! 
I know that Ping.sg is NOT competing with Tomorrow.sg. And I know that Alexa statistics are based on the visits of people who have installed and are using Alexa toolbar. Still, out of curiosity (and since Compete.com does not profile ping.sg yet), I checked the rankings and related stats for the two sites just now and was pleasantly surprised.
And the Web traffic meter on Alexa (via AttentionMeter) over the past six months reads:
Perhaps this is a herald of more good things to come for Ping.sg?

I think Uzyn is too nice to be seen as challenging. And James Seng seems to like him well enough. He spent some time talking to Uzyn at the end of Nexus last week.
Furthermore, this is just Alexa ranking. Need to see more stats from more sources. Plus: The hit rate or number of reads per post on Tomorrow.sg right now is still much higher than the number of pongs per post on Ping.sg. There IS a certain “economy” (or effectiveness) with limited number of approved posts versus many free-for-all posts.
Still, I like this “free” culture at ping.sg very much. Kudos, Uzyn!

Alexa’s sample size is horribly small. I had my friend install the toolbar, and my site’s ranking jumped to about 80k.
It states that 65% of my users come from singapore, but in my google analytics, less than 10% do so. (me and my friend use the tool bar and visit the site daily, i guess this skews the stats if the sample size is small)
plus i believe that ping sg has a lot more internet marketers who would use the alexa toolbar.
(ps, i’m not saying ping sg is bad. in fact, i visit ping sg daily, n tomorrow once in a blue moon. but alexa’s stats arn’t really trustworthy)

TedFox has a good point.
Another reason why I think Ping.sg is ranked above tomorrow.sg traffic-wise is due to the fact that there are quite a few ‘residents’ at Ping.sg. Some of us would refresh the page all day just to see what’s new.
