I don't know if anyone here uses a toolbar when you are surfing the net but they are useful. If you are interested the alexa one is really cool, you can grab it here:

Alexa keeps track of the most popular websites in the world using it's toolbar. So the more nolucker's that use the toolbar the higher our rankings will be on there, and having a high rank is just cool. Earlier this year we were in the top 50,000 sites in the world but have slipped since. Just thought I'd point it out if anyone was interested.

You can search for any site to see their ranking. If you enter the url in the search and click on traffic details you can see the rank.
As you can see we are just under the top million sites.

msfilly, thats a good question and thats why Alexa isn't entirely accurate, but its the best one out there. They can only estimate what sites are popular based on the millions of people that use their search bar. This works well for msn or yahoo but not as good for us who are much less popular.
Basically if all NLNers downloaded the toolbar our rankings would shoot through the roof, proving that the ranking system isn't totally accurate.
