According to what criteria does Alexa do its ratings?
I see a couple egregious errors here.
First off, this site is the top one.
Second, Sony isn't in Canada and Sony refers people here if they want COMPLETE info on Leonard.

Good question. The system is rather controversial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexa_Internet) - but this is the best and most common way to estimate the popularity of websites.

Oh, well, THAT minor detail ;-) ~ and I'll give you that... Sony Music (Canada) would be in Canada :)

Maybe it has more hits because they Google and see that it's the "Official"... once there, though, they leave to come [well, after they stop at HeckOfAGuy's station first ;-) ] here for Leonard primo info and then stay :) ... and then go on regular outings and forays to HeckOfAGuy's, the Files, and WebHeights. Including the non-English sites in the ratings is a little dicey because they are niche markets for those languages, so not quite fair to get caught up in a rating/rated system.

Meanwhile, good on you, Allan :D
