www.was.org.nz Web Presence

 

The WAS domain has risen in Alexa measurement to the best 293,091 st web site in the world!!! this has taken many years of hard work cross referencing and trimming many domains and thousands of pages and directories, to achieve. A year ago the alexa ranking was about the 3 millionth best site .... (1 is best - 400,000,000 is worst)

This is yet another aspect of Astronomy poorly, almost not at all, understood by anyone, let alone the astronomical community. It is an emerging area of astronomy, related to education and information disbursment, two of the most important aspects of astronomy.

The Google Page rank has been relatively stable at #5 (x/10) 0 is worst - 10 is best, its almost a log function).

Be aware that this function is in-extricably related to all the other websites linked to and from this site, and is not to be taken lightly.

We are poised to leverage this presence to grow our membership, lets do it! webmaster March 2007...
