ComScore’s Top Start-ups in Canada

I'm not a huge believer in Alexa's numbers but as I'm fond of saying, "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king".

Everytime we publish our monthly Techvibes Start-Up Indexes, there are always a few complaints about the use of Alexa and Compete data for ranking the websites of start-ups.

While we agree that it’s not an accurate measurement of website traffic, it is a great way to compare the traffic of different online properties as it creates a level playing field for metrics.

Our inaugural Canadian Start-Up Index on July 1st received the usual anti-Alexa comments, so we decided to consult with a recognized Internet information provider - comScore - to see how the top websites on our Canadian Index measure up.

I think I've also heard you say: "There are three kinds of lies: lies; damn lies; ... and statistics."
