But why does that make it skewed ?

I only know of one kiwi with it installed - they work for a large webmaster.
(but I don't go round asking people)

I think that most webmasters would have it, as it is in their interest etc.

I think more kiwis should install it, it gives you some quick information and there are no downsides (may be there were years ago when the internet was slow)


You answered your own question really -
"I think that most webmasters would have it, as it is in their interest etc"

yes, but how many "ordinary kiwi's" doing their general surfing - not a lot

1322893 2013-01-15 23:33:00 Maybe not so many kiwis have the Alexa toolbar.

I see quite a few NZ companies without an Alexa ranking.
.

Never heard of it but the last thing I'd want is any kind of toolbar.
If I am looking for companies, I google NZ, and mostly they come up on Finda.
Finda is a great listing, beats the pants of Yellow.

If I want reviews on services I look at Trademe (if they have a listing) or google for that too.
