Alexa Looks At Major Financial Websites
September 14, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyreAfter looking at the Nielsen and comScore ratings of the audiences of major financial websites, 24/7 Wall St. turned to Alexa. Alexa shows a website’s three month average reach against all other websites in the world. It then ranks the sites accordingly. The data also shows the website’s traffic ranking trend.
The figures for financial sections of sites like Yahoo! (YHOO) and AOL cannot be shown because they are rolled into the parent website’s numbers.
Like the other measuring services, Alexa show Forbes.com with a substantial lead followed by Reuters, WSJ.com and MarketWatch. The last two sites are owned by Dow Jones (DJ).
Further down the list are sites including the Motley Fool, the FT, and McGraw-Hill’s (MHP) BusinessWeek.com
