I am not being negative. I am being realistic. I could go and use your "tool" right now on any of the sites I own or run and it is NOT going to show me any thing that is "useful".
Can it show how many visitors there was in the last hour/day/week?
Can it show where they came from?
Can it show me how many pages they viewed?
Can it show what products they looked at?
Can it tell me if they came from a search engine and what word or phrase they used?
Nope! It can tell me none of those. Sure, it can suggest completely useless things such as the "alexa rank", the imaginary toolbar PR, the totally inaccurate "backlink count". Then, from these useless numbers it purports to calculate a monetary value for the entire site based on visiting and "analysing" the "home" page.
Here at WMT you are in the "big boys playground" not the "cork floored kindegarten slides". Many of us have been working on websites well before the Internet became full of myths about what is "important".
So we are not fooled by the likes of compete.com and quantcast, we fail to be dazzled by the bright green bar and are less than impressed by Alexa rank.
So by all means, you be impressed by the adoration of the newbies and numpties at where ever, but please don't come here, pee on our shoes and then try to tell us that it's raining, because it simply won't work.
Sure, you carry and "improve your tool" but be aware it has no real use other than momentary entertainment for those who haven't learned their way around yet.
