Regarding SEEK's Alexa rating:
Alexa ranks sites based primarily tracking users of its toolbar for the Internet Explorer, Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers. Website owners can sign up for "certified statistics," which allows Alexa full access to a site's traffic data. If you notice any site you look up on Alexa says "This sites metrics are estimated", because absolutely nobody grants Alexa access to there traffic data. Not Google, not Craigslist, not SEEK. I personally don't know anyone who uses the Alexa toolbar as it is classified as malware or adware by most antiviruses. As such TheDirectory.com's Alexa rating, good or bad, is completely irrelevant. The only reliable source for website traffic data would be the host server, and I'm sure they maintain that info as confidential.
