alexaThird party data recently released shows that Fayette Advocate is the area’s highest rated news source.

Alexa.com ranks Fayette Advocate as one of the 600,000 most popular websites in the world, as well as placing Fayette Advocate millions above other area news sources.

“The goal is to be closest to number one,” said Fayette Advocate’s editor-in-chief Derek Myers. “Obviously, being the number one website in the world isn’t feasible in the near future — Google is number one — but we are number one in the area.”

Alexa traffic rank is based on three months of collected historical traffic data from millions of users.

Fayette Advocate places 526,865, while the second rated news source in the area ranks at 3.8 million. Again, the goal is to be 1.

“Some will argue that it’s due to recent controversy that has hit the community, but the data clearly shows that we surpassed our competitors in mid-October before the so-called controversy started,” Myers said. “On December 16 alone, our Google analytics logged 56,001 unique visitors. This data comes from third parties…they’re trusted by millions of companies around the world. We want to thank our readers for making this possible.”

Alexa — a subsidiary of Amazon — complies their data through numerous platforms such as search engines, website crawlers, tool-bars, and cookies.
