Ranker ~is~ a top 1k site.

Personally I've looked over the data for a number of successes and failures and I don't believe the conventional story about Panda.

Adding the data in this article to everything else I know about Ranker just confirms my model of what works and what doesn't.

No, they are not, at least not according to major reporters of such stats. What measure are you pointing to in order to indicate they are a top 1k site?

they ranked at #992 in Quantcast last week; they're got the Quantcast tracking code too, so the traffic numbers aren't crazy
