Previous AfD. Still non notable, or advertising, or not encyclopedic, or whatever we're calling it this week. Delete.

- Comment - Not making a vote yet, but the Alexa rank of 30,000 isn't too shabby. - Hahnchen 01:56, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Alexa uses a biased sampling method and extrapolates. If a lot of people both use the Alexa toolbar and visit a site, it's a good indicator it's a notable site. This would be Alexa ranks of under 5K with confidence, under 10K with some trepidation. If almost no one has the tool bar and visits the site, it's a good indicator that the site is not notable. This would be Alexa ranking of anything from 500K to 2M. Anything between that really means very little. An actual example:[1]

- Delete. For such a core part of the Internet as a search engine, an Alexa rank of 30,000 is absolutely abysmal. --Carnildo 04:04, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, previous afd ruling was odd, one "crush", one "delete", and one unsigned "leave"... If I had been Tony I would probably have relisted instead for more feedback but nevermind... Usrnme h8er 08:47, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- Keep I really think that this has potential. First, the site is still in testing mode so Alexa rankings will be utterly useless (which they are anyway, a totally biased indicator of the internet). Second, a google search for "factbites.com" gave me 'about 1,770,000' results, with a lot of new stuff from news and tech sites, meaning that the search engine is picking up speed. I'm not sure when the site went online exactly, but it may also be too new to feature on the Alexa rankings.
