UberVu launches Compare
so we all know that google ranks as the #1 most-visited website and surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) - facebook recently snagged the #2 spot (bumping out Yahoo!) but is it fair to continue using website analytic tools like compete.com and alexa to rank popularity based solely on global visitors in a given time frame? from an advertising standpoint, it’s not a fair comparison to go...
