I know it tracks the page impressions when someone has Alexa tool bar, but how does that help? Does it help to purchase traffic from DP and raise my Alexa ranking? Is that a good move on my part? What benefit will it bring? Thanks!
What DP has to do with Alexa is wonder.... Alexa toolbar is used by Alexa to measure traffic on any website.. http://www.alexa.com/site/help/traffic_learn_more
For me, no benefit. But if you are doing those paid to blog, you will get higher price if your alexa ranking is good.
For me, I don't really trust Alexa as it is sometimes funny. Besides that, it is not 100% correct as it does not has access to your server files and blog html so it can't really track visitors well. It only track visitors through its toolbar but what about people that doesn't use it like me?
Useless - from my view I receive "ZERO TRAFFIC" to one of my site and it's alexa is still growing. Dunno how by myself.
I wonder why it gets so popular. BTW, you can't deny it has got the real trick to get people to use to talk about it.
From my experience, I've found Alexa is good for advertising on my blog. My Alexa now stands at 77K and this has given me my fair share of sponsored reviews and private ads on my blog. Peter Lee
My Alexa Rank drops every single day. It was higher when I was getting 10 hits a day and now I get like 100+ and it gets lower. Pretty useless IMO. Will probably remove it from my blog soon.
Some people thought alexa is the source of all traffic ranking while for me it's ridiculously dumb. Like teenwolf41 case, you might get much more visitors but you lose your alexa if your new visitors do not have alexa toolbar installed on their site.
