what is with nlib.narod.ru??

Post by imslp »

I was randomly doing random stuff with Alexa, and happened to check out the traffic stats of nlib.narod.ru: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traff ... b.narod.ru

I nearly died from the shock. Considering I've seen no other sheet music site reach even the top 20,000 I'm at a loss as to how the hell nlib.narod.ru made it into the top 200 on the entire internet. Sure they started early, but they have quite a troublesome system you have to go through to get the files, not to mention that there's a daily cap for the number of files. It's also not like their collection is incredibly extensive (though I admit they have some pretty good stuff).

Just thought I'd share this 8th wonder of the world with you guys.

I hadn't heard of this site before so had to take a look. Does that make me an alien bot? :twisted:

I would guess that it's measuring the whole domain narod.ru instead of nlib.narod.ru. I'm fairly sure that a sheet music site (especially that one) will never get that high.

EDIT: After looking at the alexa site this is indeed the case. It lists nlib.narod.ru as the site and then just lists narod.ru when it does all of the statistics.

Hahaha... one of the choices is actually correct. I guess I'll close the poll now.
