SoftAltern

Recently I came up with a new website idea, SoftAltern, which is going to be a high traffic website. Based on Alexa statistics my website (Overall AmdZ.com domain) has the traffic rank of 96041 in the world and 966 in Iran (Dec 30, 2007). I expect the SoftAltern to be in top 10000 websites in just 4 months of activity and in top 5000 in 6 months. Based on my recent measurement, the average rank of 5 major rivals of SoftAltern is 3100.
