Hi, My site rank like 6 on google for term free phpld templates , 9th on yahoo, but i tired alexa and it cannot be found. Have done seo work on it for google, as i am not sure what alexa requires. Out of like : 1 - 100 of about 3,920,000 for free phpld templates. So what am i doing wrong that alexa is not able to rank my site or should i worry about alexa ranking and seo optimization. Help would be appreciated. Regards
Alexa only works if the people browsing your site have an Alexa toolbar installed so it can log the visit. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
First of all you need to install alexa on your browser , if you will visit your site frequently , it will change your Alexa ranking ,
hi DP friends, just want to ask, i wanted to know some alternatives to install alexa toolbar on firefox..is there any suggestion ?
You can use search status to check alexa ranking on firefox check this link to download http://www.tulip4heaven.com/2007/02/05/how-to-install-alexa-tool-bar-on-firefox-and-mozilla/
So alexa toolbar effects search also? I was talking about ranking on search, not on the ranking which happens to be 150,000 something.
http://quirk.co.za/searchstatus/ Shows both Alexa Rank and Google PR. I haven't used it in a long time but it is still on the alexa site so I assume it's still valid. If most of your visitors don't have the toolbar installed, you can make a custom alexa toolbar with your logo and offer it as a free download on your site.
Be careful with downloading and installing alexa toolbar. Sometimes there are so many unnecessary things will sit on your system. I am unable to use iexplorer due to this problem and tried to remove the virus but unable to do so..
Your site may not have been included in their index, I believe they recently shifted from Live.com (MSN) to their own search index. Where does Alexa get its search results? Alexa's search results are based on the data in our crawl of the Web. We combine what we have crawled with what we know about Web trends and behavior in order to present the most relevant results. You can submit your url using the following form. http://www.alexa.com/site/help/webmasters
Agreed. There's so much crap that comes with it, it's a disaster.... If you have a good protection suite like ZoneAlarm, you'll spend more time getting them to "work together" than it's worth. Unless you're selling your site, Alexa is pretty meaningless.
Don't worry about Alexa ranking. Alexa ranking is number of user accessing your site uses Alexa toolbar.
alexa rank is basically count by how many people with alexa toolbar installed on your system visits your website. its helpful in getting good advertisers only
