You can all start helping by Digging Syd's articles if you like them.

It would be a bad idea to just spam out all of his old articles at once, but one at a time and as they come out. This can help.

Remember, only Digg it if you enjoy it. Which is probably why you would find yourself at this site anyways.

I started one up for the 50 NES Quotes.

Anyone know a good sticker site? CafePress is way too fucking expensive. I found a site, StickerJunkie, that'll print 100 black and white graphicless stickers for $35, but their checkout page seems shady. There are no drop bars for credit card expiration dates and whatnot, you just have to enter it all manually. I don't know about that.

That's not good, try somewhere else.

For the stickers, I'd try a local printshop before going online.

I'd stick a bumper sticker on my car, not my bumper. Nothing against the website, I just don't believe in bumper stickers.

Alexa's rankings aren't entirely accurate. I think their main source of tracked traffic are those people who actually have the Alexa toolbar installed. Plus, it's common for internet marketers to skew the Alexa stats if they're looking to sell a site. Easy really, just buy like 100,000 hits of crap traffic, send it to the site, and inflate your numbers.

I'd put a real counter on the pages you want to track like Google Analytics. Find out how people are finding your site, and then you can find out what they're looking for and what they want too.

In addition to Digg, StumbleUpon is good as well.

I've found Alexa's ranking to be pretty accurate. But if you think toolbar usage skews it, then please download the toolbar. I use it.

It doesn't skew as much as limits what it can track. It doesn't represent all traffic you, or any site, gets.

Basically, if I were looking to buy a website and gave showed me Alexa stats, I'd take it with a grain of salt and ask to see their actual logged stats. It's too easy to manipulate.

I like it too. But it requires a decent amount of work to get it working.

It does track comparative traffic, and I would like my comparative traffic to be higher.

I'm guessing that the lack of capitalization, punctuation, and grammar in general disqualifies you from forcing sites to let you write for them.
