Zillow and ActiveRain Among Top 10 Seattle Startups
Filed Under: Internet
ActiveRain scored a major coup this month by moving in to the top 10 on Marcelo Calbucci’s Seattle Startup Index for December. Zillow still sits in the top 3 while Redfin drops out of the top 20.
The index averages and ranks the Alexa Rank and Compete Rank usage scores for all the web sites in the index. This is not necessarily the most accurate gauge of a site’s overall popularity, as both rely on toolbar installations to track visits (Compete does combine its figures with ISP and web traffic), and once again speaks to the need for a more complete and fair way to judge a site or blog’s popularity (make sure you’ve voted in this week’s poll question).

Zillow is a great product as an interface to mls data. more realtors should take advantage of the services they pay for.

Unfortunately, Alexa scores can be heavily manipulated. But I’m not surprised at the report’s results.

Active Rain seems to have a business model that is allowing them to grow substantially over the last year.
