The ranking of icdchess.com was expected to plunge when we parked ChessUSA.com
to it and then later created a permanent 301 redirect to ChessUSA.com in order
to please the Google gods.

So, if you go to http://www.alexa.com/data/details/?url=chessusa.com  you will
see the more accurate rating of 258,807 with upward movement in the direction.

I think the addition of links from CCC and CTF members have helped. I hope we
can count on more of those.
