Note that even though you asked for argouml.org, you actually got
tigris.org for the charts.  If you look down at the bottom of the page
you'll see that argo related subdomains are about 5% of that traffic
total.  You'll also see that ArgoUML traffic is split across (at
least) three subdomains, diluting the amount for any given domain, and
consequently, its impact on search engine rankings, etc.

You need to be careful with Alexa figures though, because they only
represent users who have the Alex toolbar installed, so they are
subject to sample skew.  It's more accurate to use the Google
Analytics figures, although they don't do as well for site-to-site
comparisons.  I think Linus probably has to approve you for access to
the Google Analytics figures.  For older data, Tigris/Collabnet used
to make available web log analysis graphs, but I think it broke and
they never bothered to fix it.  The historical ones are available on
the web site.  There's also the hand collated download stats which
were derived from those web log reports.
