I wonder how they get some of that data - especially salary and education level.

Quoted:
I'm bored...so here are some stats for you. According to Alexa.com... AR15.com has a three-month global Alexa traffic rank of 10,893. This site is based in the US. Visitors to the site spend about 44 seconds on each pageview and a total of eleven minutes on the site during each visit, and about 37% of visits to Ar15.com are bounces (one pageview only). Compared with the overall internet population, the site's audience tends to be users who are not college graduates; it also appeals more to men earning over $60,000 who browse from home. Rank by Country United States: 2,084 Argentina: 7,426 Thailand: 28,840 Canada: 33,922 France: 54,670 that's decent stamina... |

Something tells me its inaccurate and incomplete. the only people with the true stats would be the site staff.
I would also say hits from the mobile site and the work site should be added to the total Who knows where the of information about education and salary came from. That being said I'd love to see some real stats about the site published. Like number of unique active members, bandwidth consumption, etc |

Quoted: I wonder how they get some of that data - especially salary and education level. I highly doubt their salary data but their education estimate is certainly believable.

Quoted: I wonder how they get some of that data - especially salary and education level. Because people tell them. Alexa statistics are largely based on users who have the Alexa toolbar installed. While it may not be representative of net users as a whole, it's a very accurate representation of Alexa users. |

Quoted: I think that site is mostly bullshit. Well, people spend a lot of time arguing on the internet about the usefulness / accuracy of Alexa. Funny that those dipshits over at Amazon still continue to own them despite the fact that it's all bullshit. Amazon is just days from bankruptcy I hear due to these terrible business decisions. |

Yet there is no grounds (that I know of) for assuming demographic data for people who respond to spam e-mail in any any equates to the overall demographics of those who receive it. Now, there may very well be such grounds - but I have not seen a credible argument or study to that effect yet. Establishing that connection is what I am demanding - it is the crux of the matter here, and why I am curious as to methods. |

I'd disagree to some level. Arfcommers are really cheap - and seen eager to download and install any free software that will save them a few bucks. Embed Alexa in a free antivirus - and a lot of Arfcommers would install it in a second. |
