Perhaps the most relevant statistics data that we could gather is presented here:
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Site title (meta) | The Skeptics Guide to the Universe | Weekly science podcast produced by the SGU Productions llc. Also provides blogs, forums, videos and resources. | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 147. |
Website meta description | Weekly science podcast produced by the SGU Productions llc. Also provides blogs, forums, videos and resources. | The length of the meta description is 110 characters. Google recommends up to around 280-320 characters at the most. |
Website load speed | Approximately 2.9827 seconds | It takes too long to load the website – we would suggest the webmaster to look into it. |
Rank by Alexa | 248,614 | We are not fans of the Alexa rank, but if we base our assumptions on it, the website is not that popular. |
Global rank by Quantcast | 32,259, after last update | According to Quantcast metris, the website is quite popular. |
Homepage links | Approximately 67 | A good amount of links and nothing to worry about. |
Pages linking back | We counted 4,079 | A great amount of backlinks. |
Size of page HTML | 50.2KB | If it were up to us, we'd urge the webmaster to improve. The result isn't very good, you see. Just saying. |
Server data | Server seems to be online. IP adress for this domain is 74.208.44.25. | The location of the server is in Wayne, Pennsylvania, United States. The hosting service is provided by a known, trustworthy company. |
Status of domain | Date of registry: 2006-04-05 21:45:18 | Due to lack of data, we can't provide a meaningful insight. theskepticsguide.org has been registered at Network Solutions, LLC |
The basic overview not enough? Let's dive deeper.
A website is not just Quantcast ranks and meta information. There is a whole lot more to it. Let's give it a proper look now, shall we?
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Categories of the website | Internet and Telecom Arts and Entertainment > TV and Video People and Society Shopping |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |
Similar websites | csicop.org en.wikipedia.org pointofinquiry.org randi.org sciencebasedmedicine.org scienceblogs.com sgu.edu sguforums.com skepchick.org skepdic.com skeptic.com skepticality.com skeptoid.com theness.com youtube.com |
While we can't speak with a hundred percent certainty, these website seem to fall into the same category as theskepticsguide.org. Thus, they probably target the same audience and, likely, keywords. |

Frequent visitors of theskepticsguide.org are also interested in these websites. |
The following statistics are provided only as an approximation. We can't guarantee the numbers are absolutely correct, but we do believe they are very much within the ballpark and, as such, can give a pretty good idea about the popularity of this website.
Let's start with some telling numbers and then break it all down.
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Approximate monthly visitors | 390.10K | Without taking the size of the target audience into account, we would say the website's not that popular. But, again, that is a somewhat superficial assessment - make your own conclusions. |
Traffic delta | -1.29% | The number of visitors has decreased compared to the month before. |
Average visit time | 00:00:29 | To keep visitors around for longer one needs to provide regular, captivating content. This result is a good indication that such content may be missing. |
theskepticsguide.org Visit Traffic Bounce Rate | 52.47% | A pretty good amount of visitors find valuable information here without going back to search results. |
Alexa, perhaps the oldest ranking system of its sort, bases it's website rating on approximated number of visitors of a specific page. In other words, the more visitors, the higher the global and local ranks. As of recently, Alexa has well over four million websites ranked. Having said all that, Alexa rank should be taken with a grain of salt. Or a massive bucketload. In other words, we think it to be greatly overrated, as it never takes into account how popular a website is within its niche.
QUANTCAST is very similar to Alexa, though perhaps enjoys an overall better user opinion even if, by comparison, the data processing company's rank index is smaller. The main interest of QUANTCAST is real-time audience analysis, so again the rank is based on traffic. QUANTCAST gathers this data mainly for advertising purposes of other companies. We know that, so far, QUANTCAST has ranked 211,298,907 websites, give or take a few. With all of this said, Quantcast rank is not really any more useful than that of Alexa and most similar ranking systems. Few of them, if any, take context into account and rate websites purely on traffic numbers (guesstimated, in so many cases). It's by far not the most accurate representation of a website's worth.
What is a server? It's basically a physical storage device (one that, sometimes, makes up several virtual servers for the cheaper shared hosting) that holds all the files and databases associated with a specific website or websites. Obviously, it's a touch more complicated than that (servers also have processors), but the essence is quite simple - your browser contacts the server, which then sends all the neccessary information and files to your computer. Each physical server has a unique IP address assigned to it, too, for easy recognition.
If you need more raw data, here's what we managed to gather:
