Does anyone on here play Alexadex?

[TSR6]

I just wanted to see if anyone on here plays Alexadex? I started late last season and ended up finishing in the top 500. I noticed that a few people last season bought disboards.com, so i figure at least someone has to be on here.

If you don't have ANY clue of what I am talking about - Alexadex is a game that you can buy "stock" in websites. The websites are valued by the ammount of traffic they receive. It's not real money... lol... it's a game. But the prices increase and decrease according to the changes in traffic to each site according to the Alexa site ranking deal... Because some websites gain more traffic on certain days, you play buy buying it on a day that few people visit, and sell it on it's busiest day of the week!

The URL is at: http://www.alexadex.com

Yes, You can "buy" Disney.com and disboards.com!

cenedra345, i see you signed up under the Disboards link here! yay!

If anyone wants to talk strategy on here, share sites, ect, I'm all for it. I hate doing it actually on alexadex because then everyone see's it!

I have signed up as MudBloodDax. Of course I can no longer trade as the trading window was closed... I will try again in the morning.

I guess they changed it so the trade window closes between 9am to 12pm PDT to prevent people from cheating the price update system.

It was an issue we had last season.

Free hint: Traffic to bank websites tend to go up towards payday.

Cool thanks for the tip...

 

[TSR6]

No problem

Also, If you didnt read the FAQ's, updates are "a day late" - meaning if CNN runs an article today that the world is going to end in a week - and billions of people go to CNN's website to read it - You want to buy it today so that you have it for tomorrow's update.

Ok, what time does it update? I purchased everything just as it "opened" yesterday, now I am just waiting to see what happened with what I bought...

 

[TSR6]

Generally around 2pm CDT. Some days it comes earlier or a little bit later because it relies on a completely different website for it's date. It uses Alexa.com's website ranking data for the prices.

You should be updated by now. I'm up to 19K from the original 10K

Dax - How ya' doin on the alexadex?

 

[Dax]

Not good at all...Just not cut out for this type of game...

 

[TSR6]

OK, buy as many shares of dnb.com as you can while it's still on it's low ($170). I would buy some right now, but i used up my money.

This one will either peak on today's update, or tomorrows.
