Article Alley now has a page on Wikipedia one the internet’s top sites.  It appears to be pretty accurate but the information is more than several months out of date - we have already passed the 1,000,000 article submission mark.

The page can be found here - Article Alley on Wikipedia

Users have been asking why our home page appears to be behind the rest of the site, its due to the surge in submissions we have seen over the last month, as of yesterday we doubled the rotation speed in an attempt to bring it back up to date.

Our development team is working on a flexible rotation system that will vary the rotation speed each day based on approved submissions from the previous day - for now please bear with us, we are up to date its just the home page is lagging.

We have started a general tightening up on our editorial guidelines, these will shortly be updated on our site, from now on, there will be a three link limit within articles and we are going to be much more strict on the quality of articles getting through our editorial review, so better grammar, longer articles, more interesting stuff will get through.

Its in response to Google’s more recent moves to improve the quality of search results, we feel the same way and our also cleaning up our database and removing poor quality content, and low page view articles.

Its a long term plan, but will improve the results for our good author and loyal visitors.

Came across a new site today, which has a great report about Article Alley, check out Article Alley on Markosweb basically this site is a webstat aggregator that combines traffic and link data.

What caught my eye is their valuation which shows Article Alley is worth more than $4m - nice touch, it certainly got my attention!

Alexa the popular search engine and stats sites, has some good graphs.  The following shows the reach or the relative number of visitor for every sample of search enquiries.  What is clear from the graph is that our
