Those who have known me for awhile know I’m a total stats freak and I love running reports based on various data. Today we are going to do just that for all of those adult news sites out there like Luke Ford and AVN.
I know people poo poo Alexa.com for the simple fact that their stats are pretty inaccurate and it’s easy to manipulate the rankings. And while that may be true, no public source of data is ever going to be perfect or 100% accurate. Still, it’s all we have so based on Alexa alone, who are the top “adult news” websites? As of October 07, 2013 these are the top 15 adult news sites based solely on their Alexa ranking. Interestingly enough XBIZ beats out AVN, not in major terms but still, with AVN’s advantage of AGE I would have though they would have been much higher than XBIZ. (Site name (Alexa ranking) + or – increase or decrease in ranking)
- XBIZ (12,194) +15,379
- AVN (17,365) +11,672
- Fleshbot (22,148) –1,468
- Mike South (23,282) +53,907
- Adult FYI (29,948) +39,558
- Tony Batman (32,717) +9,904
- YNOT (34,730) +69,768
- Lukeisback (65,118) +44,116
- Xcritic (95,991) –4,146
- Naked News (110,343) –14,085
- Luke Ford (190.599) +99,936
- World-Sex-News (290,893) +479,255
- AInews (391,531) +334,016
- The Floating World (401,963) +251,253
- Gramponante (428,164) +81,690
Of the top 15, which sites have had the biggest drops in ranking?
- Naked News They are down –14,085
- Xcritic They are down –4,146
- Fleshbot They are down –1,468
Now let’s look at the site’s bounce rank. A bounce rank means how many people hit the site and then just “bounce” out of there, meaning it judges actual retention of the visitor itself. The idea is, if a person hits your site and then just bounces out of there then your site isn’t what they wanted to see, so the better your bounce rate, the better quality your site is (in theory). With the average bounce rate being 50% anything better than 50% (less = better) then the better.
So which of the top 15 have the best bounce rates?
- Tony Batman (32,717) +9,904 – 9% bounce rate
- The Floating World (401,963) +251,253 – 15.80% bounce rate
- Adult FYI (29,948) +39,558 – 20.70% bounce rate
- AInews (391,531) +334,016 – 25.70% bounce rate
- Naked News (110,343) – 14,085 – 43.50% bounce rate
