I am Sorry if i am writing in wrong section but i didn't find any suitable section for my question !

My question is Digitalpoint(DP) has :--Members: 126,796, Active Members: 43,704

And here in daniweb :-- Members: 258,748

Then why Dp has ALexa rank of 253 and Daniweb 4675 ?
What is major factor of Dp ?
I Figure that Daniweb should have higher rank than Dp because of simplicity and content rich materials, altough Dp has same thing .

Is this figures only show that Dp has only higher Rank in ALexa ?

What makes Dp more Rank Holder we any one can clear it or have any idea it would be great .

The only 1 reason i found that Dp is specially for webmasters and most of the webmaster use Alexa toolbar that directly affect alexa rank ! is there anything else that makes huge difference between these two Big players !!


:: Regards

On daniweb only 29,659 have posted more than once and under 5,000 have posted more than 10 times.

hmm Thanks for your reply and the reason why ppl on DP post bcoz most of their users go to buy/sell/trade zone and they need to wait for some days from registering / certain number of post to make new thread in that section !! do you think these conditional post increase community quality??

currently there are 737 users viewing that section lol ..

Alexa rank has absolutely zero meaning.

DP has a more active membership because they put more focus on their buying and selling marketplace. Most of their members tend to be in it for the self-promotion.

Also, they're a revenue sharing forum ... members want to post (even if it's not a real quality post) just for the sake of posting, because they can potentially earn Google AdSense revenue when people view threads that they post in.

Thanks for your reply ! so as result i see that Dp is only useful for those who have something to sell or who want to buy something , I have seen there lots of scam cases, ppl there post post and post (really good posters)

:-> Conclusion

: Alexa Rank doesn't matter
: Some regular and good posters can improve site quality.
: therefore some good(regular) posters are better than huge number of only registered users.

Thanks again for you valuable reply and comments .

I dont care about alexa too. Its all about quality Posts , Quality members and advices. Its also upto posters to take care of the forums if they want to earn and live long.

Cheers

daniweb must be pretty good because its neaerly always #1 in google whereas i have never heard of DP

DP is forum for general people, daniweb is for techies, anoter reason could be DP members are not as unforgiving as DW members.

daniweb isnt really for techies

i hang out mainly in the troubleshooting dead machines/windows xp forum and most people there are just slightly above the average user (in that they know how to seek help)

DP is an SEO forum though ... whole different ballpark.
