RE: It's official, females dominates males on steemit !!!
Alexa generates its data from the Alexa toolbar (biased sample problem) - The stats are from there, and are not based on what people are identifying themselves as on steemit in particular.
Many times the Alexa data will not be representative of the actual site data. It should be considered a very rough guide particularly on things like gender.
I guess the steemit site owners have more accurate statistics from google analytics (?)
I bet their data will be close to the initial data provided ... just a feeling...
Possibly. i'd assume the google sample would be much larger. If you're interested in what Google thinks YOUR gender is you can go to http://www.google.com/ads/preferences if you're signed in to google and scroll down. It will show the gender and age that it thinks you are. Might be interesting.
Alexa shouldn't be used 'officially' for anything. The only use Alexa provides really is change statistics. So if you know you have X vistiors one month and Y the next, the change in users is useful info. But the absolute numbers they provide are wildly inaccurate.
