Is Quixtar's traffic dropping?

Dear Scott,

I have not always been a fan of yours or the AmQuix website for that matter.  So it's with a no small amount of humility that I'm writing you this email.  I won't bother with the details, but suffice it to say that we've been IBO's for far too long and only now are we beginning to see the facts for what they are. 

It's in this spirit that I wanted to share the following information with you.  This is all commonly available information that anyone can find, certainly nothing earth shattering.  However, I haven't seen mention of it here before so here it goes.

Quixtar web site traffic is dropping like a rock....  it's reach on the internet has gone from it's January 2002 high of about 4% of all internet users, which is really pretty darn good, to an abismal 0.0064% for it's latest 1 week average.  Since Q4 of 2001 it has gone from it's rank in the top 1200 of all internet web sites to it's current point of 16,951st.  It looks like it even dropped out of the top 20,000 right before new years.

If you check out the graphs, make sure you click on the 5yr, or Max, setting to see the trend.  Then click on the "Reach" and "Rank" tabs to see the whole picture.

Amway's traffic is a small percentage of quixtar's... do the searches, see for yourself, even the international sites.

WWDB doesn't even rank in the top 100,000.  At 252,661, the site which had experienced significant traffic between 2002 and 2006 has seen a significant decline in 2007.  While it may not sound like a lot, wwdb.com had reached almost 0.004% of internet users as recently as 2Q06 but has fallen drastically to it's recent low of 0.00028% for it's most recent 3 month average.

All combined traffic routed to mychoices.biz websites (rank 700,874) and all traffic routed to wwdb.biz (mydot.biz website) rank of 949,601, aren't even a blip on the eCommerce radar screen.   MyDot.biz had a spike in it's reach to 0.002% just after it's launch, and again in 2Q06, but it's still insignificant.  MyChoices.biz has never even generated enough traffic to be measured on the Alexa traffic analysis. 

The way it works is that every WWG Premier Member can set up two sites for their individual businesses.  A [chosenname].wwdb.biz - for training and online plan showing, and a personal ecommerce site [chosenname].mychoices.biz.  This is their own individual online store front.  This even takes in to account the fact that the WWDB diamond's profiles of success are hosted at the wwdb.biz domain as well.  So, all of the WWDB site traffic combined doesn't account for much.

I know that the other LOA's have simmilar organizational websites, I'd be curious if someone familar with their sites can collect similar infomration.

Best Regards.
