The rating is simply based on "votes" by readers. That voting box can easily be stuffed or ignored by readers. It has nothing to do with actual popularity or depth of readership. And quite frankly the rating therefore means jack ****.
Now take a deep breath, yank those wadded up panties out of your crack, exhale. See how much better you feel?
If you really want to check fairly robust site statistics, I would suggest
Alexa. It will allow you to compare site sites graphically. So a comparison between Elcova domain and H2Fantitc would
look like this.
The ranking involves various stats, but as it is currently rated, it says that 11 out of every 1million Net users visits this site.
