| • What is Alexa Stock Game? |
| Alexa Stock Game is an internet website written in HTML and PHP/MySQL, where people can buy and sell virtual shares. Earn vCash and get higher on the leaderboard. |
| • What's vCash? |
| vCash is 'Virtual Cash', we don't want to confuse anyone and calling it 'vCash' makes it clear it is not real money. |
| • I see a price for each site, how is that figured out? |
| You can thank Alexa. Every update we get some stats from an amazon-alexa partnership which does cost us a small amount (15 cents per 1000 requests), but allows us to get the latest info on websites. The exact statistic that is part of the price we do not wish to reveal, as the number is modified. |
| • urladex, alexashare, why should I go with ASG over those websites? |
| We hope you don't. Infact, I myself am signed up on all three and like all three. We do believe that we have advantages over the others, such as the plentiful information on website pages but the other two also have advantages over ourselves. We hope you sign up here and enjoy it here, providing constructive feedback is great as well so we can continue to improve. |
| • How often are updates? |
| At this moment, we update once a day. During this update, it updates information such as share price, rankings, traffic amount and more. During this time buying and selling is not available. The update is done either late or early and this downtime will be eliminated once the system is tested more. |
| • I just signed up and am new to this type of site, have some beginner tips? |
| First, just have fun. Some like to be ultra-competitive and that's great, but if you are new just have fun. Next, remember the simple logic of 'Buy Low, Sell High'. It's tough to do that, right? You have a lot of ways to do that, you can look at things such as upcoming video games, websites getting big diggs at digg.com, just trying out big sites or many other methods people use. |
| • I found a bug/problem/have a suggestion, is there another option other than to e-mail you? |
| Well e-mail or the contact page works the best, but you can also post in the forums. We appreciate all constructive feedback. |
