Haha, 1/4 to Reddit + 1/4 to Hacker News

Sites like quantcast and alexia are more or less pure bullshit, quantcast even more so because they run a protection racket where you have to pay for their "monitoring services" to improve your rank. I would be suprised if digg was not much, much lower than that.

Quantcast's traffic / reach and demographics measurement are free for anyone. I am aware of nobody that pays us for website traffic measurement or website demographics measurement, and I work on the demographics at qc. I think comscore charges, or perhaps used to charge, for their measurement product, but I could be mistaken. If you don't have us confused w/ comscore then I have literally no idea what you're talking about.

The above said, I'm just a dev, and you should not take that as Quantcast's official position on anything. If you want an official position you should ask our spokesperson.

Also, fyi, it's alexa.

I run a site and have managed to front page off and on over the last few years and yes "the Digg effect" isn't what it use to be. The current crew is trying their best, but the site was a neglected child for a bit too long. Although I will say that there is still a loyal community there.
