Updated Seattle Start-up index for November 1st.

Marcelo Calbucci over at Sampa has updated the Alexa ranking for his Seattle start-up list. You can check it out here. I’m happy to see the high traffic levels for those that Curious Office is involved with to include Imagekind (20,334) and Shelfari (8,443). Not included is SEOmoz at 1,398. Wow, that’s a lot of traffic. Too bad Alexa is the only way for us to get an indication of this…

    Have you looked at compete.com’s web metrics at all? Much better than Alexa’s IMHO, particularly since the info I see from them matches up more directly than Alexa from what we’re seeing from Google Analytics.
