1. You can use Alexa for rankings

Lower number ranking= more traffic.

7. from what i understand Alexa rankings mean little.

i think they only track users of the Alexa toolbar, not all hits to a site. it's a process that's easily freeped, sites that encourage visitors to download the bar can bump up the ratings of their sites.

3. So Huff Post gets more traffic than DU?

Wow - no offense but I sure like DU MUCH better than either Huff or Daily Kos.

5. That's why we're here

However, Kos and Ariana are both better at promoting themselves, then we are. I guess that why we're the 'Underground'?

6. This site is so much easier to navigate

It isn't just the content, but this site is technically far better than either of those. And with the new features, it really rocks.
