By comparing their stats I can see that IGN the more popular website
shows significantly less discovery than the other two pages. This is
understandable because it is a website that is very popular and has been well
established for many years. While Eventhubs shows significant movement around
the year 2010 which is when the website had down its re-launch and the fighting
game community was becoming slightly more popular. While Didyouknowgaming shows
the most movement in the last year this is mainly due to the fact that the
website was created within the last two years. It is slowly gaining popularity
due to the fact that it has started to branch out to other social media sites
such as Facebook, Twitter and more recently has started to feature videos on YouTube.

Pagerank Results
First Website: http://ca.ign.com/
Page Rank: 8 /10
This was my choice for the most popular
website. IGN is an American based review website focused on a variety of media
but oriented mostly towards video games. It is a well-established website with international
following and it score very high in the page rank checker. I feel that this
result is reflected in the professionalism with which the website presents its
content and because the many followers it has often recur to this site for more
information regarding videogames.
Second Website: http://didyouknowgaming.com/
Page Rank: 5 / 10
This website had a moderate ranking compared to
IGN. You can tell by difference in the website design that IGN is
professionally done while didyouknowgaming.com has a more amateur feel to it.
Although it probably has solid following it does not have as many links as IGN
does. I feel that is why the page rank is an accurate portrayal of this website
popularity.
Third Website: http://www.eventhubs.com/
Page Rank: 4 / 10
In this case I picked a more niche topic within
videogames in order to see the results for a website with medium traffic. This
website specifically focuses on fighting games. I believe it received a ranking
of 4 out of 10 because the user traffic and following isn’t as in depth as the
first website. Also while the design of the website is mainly in blog form
similar to the standardized options you receive from building any blog from the
ground up while IGN has its own unique style.
