Seattle internet startups ordered by traffic

About a week ago, John Cook at the Seattle PI posted a great list of Seattle area internet startups.

Even though Alexa traffic data is not very reliable (see my earlier post), I think this new version of John's list is fun and interesting.

I have to say, I am pleased with how high Findory is in this list. Tied with Farecast, GarageBand, HouseValues, and Redfin, it seems.

It also appears that Findory has the highest web traffic by far of any Seattle area self-funded internet startup; I am fairly sure that all the other startups near or above the level of Findory have multiple millions in funding. Go, little startup, go!
