Wikipedia Passes eBay in Traffic...Blogger Moving in Fast

This past week eBay was passed in amount of web traffic per million by Wikipedia, which moved into the 12th spot on Alexa's traffic ranking. Making a run up the charts is Blogger which has moved up several places and now trails eBay by only two positions. This drop in ranking comes even as eBay is experiencing somewhat of a traffic surge per million in the past several days. Prior to the mini-surge, eBay traffic was at the lowest point per million since fall of 2001. Today Alexa is showing that Blogger is only one position behind ebay for the day (Alexa's ranking is based on a three month average), and for the week's average, Blogger has actually surpassed eBay in traffic.
This news comes during the first week of a two week boycott that is being observed by more than a few eBay users who are unhappy with eBay's new SMI (hidden bidder) policy. eBay's Bidding community discussion board has seen a surge in postings to a thread about how much everyone (both buyers and sellers) hate the new policy. There has also been much talk within the eBay community about the effects that sites such as YouTube, SecondLife and MySpace will - and are having - on eBay traffic.
So the numbers beg the question...has the internet auction fad seen its height, or is the decreasing traffic on eBay the result of poor managerial decisions?
