Hitwise Hong Kong - Community Site Ranks (fudged?)

So, this week, Hitwise, an online metrics company (i.e. they figure out what are the most popular sites, how long folks spend on them etc) released a list of popular "Community" sites in Hong Kong.

We have generally prided ourselves as being one of the largest community sites in Hong Kong - in the top two in terms of English communities in HK

Well, how much credibility can you give a group that puts the SPCA and "Hong Kong Schools Music and Speech Association" above us?

Zero!

1. Expat Hong Kong
2. The British Council
3. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Hong Kong)
4. HKCATS
5. AsiaXpat
6. The Scout Association of Hong Kong
7. Hong Kong Red Cross
8. U21
9. WWF Hong Kong
10. Hong Kong Schools Music and Speech Association
(Yeah, they put asiaxpat down twice .. which just goes further to show that they are fudging the numbers.)

Is this a joke? That's absolute nonsense. Asiaxpat blows! It's just a sell-a-thon.

What is "expat hong kong"? Maybe they meant "geoexpat hk"?

ontheroad - was linked to that other evil site... thats their title tag.

If I was in a proactive mood, I'd probably call their PR person tomorrow, but the chances are they'll try and sell me some uber-platinum service which will give me exclusive quality reports to a similar service.

you should call their PR person. you guys deserve to be up there in the top 3...
that other site does blow. I just don't get the attraction, the site is ugly and un-user-friendly and its contents are gutter-level as we say in french!
