According to Alexa, Quixtar site traffic (page views) are down by 50% since this time (roughly November) last year…probably not where a company that IBO’s claim to be "exploding" would rank.
The long term traffic is even more startling…

As you know I recently launched my own site The Truth About Quixtar. Prior to that I hadn't looked much into Alexa statistics, but I though I'd experiment. I added Alexa toolbar to the two main computers I use, and discovered that the site for those weeks was averaging up around the 200,000-300,000 rank, similar to QuixtarBlog (or at least webraw) for the same time frame. Then I removed the toolbar from those two computers. The site has dropped down to a rank of around a million. In the same time I setup google analytics, and actual site traffic has been increasing significantly. So just one user with two web browsers managed to get the rank from a million to 200,000.
You probably should watch the glass houses though Ty, I just checked http://www.oasislifesciences.com and it's traffic is down 16% in the last 3 months and ranks about the same as Webraw and the TruthAboutQuixtar!!! Univeralifesciences.com is even worse ranking in at more than 1.5 million.
Your own Alexa tool bar was obviously influencing the alexa tracked traffic on your site. Your site is just starting out and you don't have much traffic, so one person can influence it greatly.
In case you haven't noticed, Univera associates have not touted the web site as the number one shopping portal in the world with "exploding" growth and of course Oasis traffic is down, 3 months ago they charnged their name to Univera.
Much of Univera's orders outside of the convenience plans are placed via call center, which I suspect will change once the $1 million investment into new database and systems is up and running. Some people like to talk to another human being when placing an order. I can't say that I blame them.
Anyhow, I figured you would stop by to add some sort of spin to an obvious fact. Keep up the good work.
Ok then Ty, Quixtar sales data will probably be released soon. Care to make a prediction?
