Statbrain.com : traffic estimates for those with no brain

During my morning browsing today I came across Statbrain - a web service that "uses different resources on the web combined with mathematical and statistical methods to estimate how many visits a website has."

I hate to break it to you, fellas, but you need to re-work your math ever-so-slightly.

According to Statbrain, things don't look good for us: Download Squad's estimation was less than ten visits per day. That's a pretty poor showing for a site in the top 6,000 according to Alexa. Better still, the list of similar sites returned a slew of gibberish domains including a pair of NSFW Blogspot blogs.

Yet somehow Statbrain was apparently worthy of a mention in the list of "Cool Websites" from a fairly well-known blog whose RSS feed I read regularly. I may miss the mark from time to time with my recommendations, but please call the Spanish Inquisition on me if I ever sing the praises of a failure like Statbrain.

If you're looking for a tool like this, check out Quarkbase instead - it actually provides some useful information and stats.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
