"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics". - Mark Twain
Since Citizendium is all the rage on this mailing list, a review and comparison of Alexa stats seemed like a good idea. Here's how things stack up:
TRAFFIC RANK: Citizendium: 63,929 Wikipedia: 7
REACH: (Percent of global Internet users who visit the site, 3 month average) Citizendium: 0.00155% Wikipedia: 8.711%
I don't think those are the relevant statistics. Take a look at http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/CZ:Statistics - the article growth is linear and has been from the start. Citizendium will never become significant without exponential growth, and I see nothing to suggest that is going to happen.
