CatLady, All right, lady. You shortin' Alexa or what? Why are you using an alias? Don't you like Texans? I think you may be right about Alexa using their own database of cached pages rather than directly reading from the interNIC sight. I went back out and monitored my process (using some I-don't-know-nuthin'-nameless-toolset that we have at work) and it clearly showed the internet site access activity (which would be the Zitec page loading) and then a very short spike of unknown activity, which I suspect is Alexa reading it's own database. When I prompted Alexa to give me the site information, it readily displayed it with no additional pages read off of the net. I then powered down, disabled Alexa, went back on the net to Zitec, and everything was as expected except the short spike of activity was now gone. So I would conclude that Alexa remains a very good tool for finding older pages that have been removed from the net, but it's site information may be suspect. Also: ZIegner TEChnologies = ZITEC.COM; yeah, I can see that. ZITEC is not the new domain name; it's ZITEC2 which implies that ZITEC was previously used (IMO). All right. I'll concede this one to you. Score at the end of one, CatLady: 1 Alexa: 0. KJC
