It's based on number of visitors (users with the alexa toolbar) which is not at all very acurate since it doesn't measure everyone.

If that's the way Alexa ranks websites, then I say that it can't be anywhere even near the real ranking, using the real number of people who visit the sites.

The tables are turned:

Compare Google Directory

http://www.google.com/dirhp

to the old main yahoo page (1999)

Well, there's not much of a difference other than the resolution of the pictures. What did you want to suggest?

I did not understand. What "copying"?

P.S. I'm only of 12 years of age, so I'm bound to "not understand" something.

I started this thread with a post showing that search.yahoo.com seems to copy google.com. And now it looks like Google Directory (http://www.google.com/dirhp) is a copy of the old yahoo search page.

OK... got it. So you mean that copying. Well, there's hardly anything original in this world. Take Christianity, for example.
