Yet another week with some major moves!

1. For the first time since the 'race' started one of the top players has changed. Stoked Brands (soon to be Thingnamer) took over the number two spot from the esteemed folks at Igor. We're pretty sure this is only temporary... But we'll bask a bit while we've got the chance.
2. Our blog-bud over at Popwink has cracked the top ten - with a massive movement of over a million places. We're thinkin' he and his friends have found the Alexa toolbar. Or maybe he is giving away free booze.
3. The biggest move comes from Name Ideas - moving up over three million spots and breaking into the top fifteen.
4. We have a new addition to the group with a respectable showing - the Dutch site Markeys shows up for the first time at #13. We're happy to have 'em. If you can read Dutch feel free to tell us what they're saying over there...

And in other news - in an effort to make our own lives at Stoked Brands a little easier... We're going to remove one place each weak from the rankings (so next week there will be no #15) until we get to a top ten list. We may continue to provide links to those outside the top group, but they won't be ranked. You'll have to do your own searching for actual numbers and such.

And now, the...

Not in the top 15 this week: Product Names: Sorry, but if you don't have your own Alexa stats you can't compete. (Product Names uses the stats from their host site, not their own numbers. And their host site is blogspot.) Motorbrand: (Schrödinger’s Blog) Pastelot (French): Not sure why this site isn't doing better. Guess the French arent interested in naming. (Check here to read it in awkwardly translated English.) Ton Of Bricks/A Hundred Monkeys: Not only is this site partially dead, it doesn't have any stats either.(Schrödinger’s Blog)
