(January 7, 2004) - Brian Kreuger, the CEO of CollegeGrad.com, collects job board  performance data from Alexa each month. Here's the data from  December 01, 2003. That was the date that CareerBuilder assumed control of the job-hunter traffic on AOL and MSN. We'll be using it as a baseline as we watch the consequences of the change.

As always, there are pluses and minuses involved in using any web traffic measurement data. It's a surprisingly inexact science. Subject to some level of local manipulation, all traffic data is modestly suspect. Like the more expensive services, Alexa has several known biases. But, the measurement process is consistent and no single player has any sort of structural advantage.

Here are the rankings of the top National Job Boards.
