Over the last week, Google Analytics says that I've had Visits: 1,343 Pageviews: 9,320. Is that all it takes to break the 100,000 mark on Alexa? http://www.occultcorpus.com/ I have the searchstatus tool bar installed and an Alexa widget on the main page. I swear to the gods I did not inflate my traffic by any other means (for one I can't afford it). So that is really enough to break such a milestone? Am I reading something wrong?
Hey, be glad. For some of us getting our Alexa numbers down takes an extraordinary amount of work. Likely, most of your visitors of late have the Alexa toolbar installed, thus the big drop. Alexa is titled toward SEO people, so if your site touches on the topic, then that explains it.
I didn't hear of Alexa till I found this place (Join Date: Jan 19th 2007) at which point I downloaded the Alexa toolbar for my IE7, and then the toolbar I mentioned above for FireFox. I've had consistent drops since that time. My site topic is Occult & Esoteric discussion, which is a niche to be sure...especially among all you tech people Maybe I should start a poll on my site, heh, it would be odd if Occultists rivaled SEOers for Alexa use (lol) Either way, I'm almost impressed with my site, 6 month old (almost 7) & already one of the "big boys" (if you're willing to count the Alexa 100,000 in there). Q
I still don't have Alexa toolbar installed on my PC. Could somebody tell what am I missing if anything at all?
Other option is to use the Search Status Plugin for Firefox .. does the Alexa bits and shows you Google PR while it's at it too
I am using Live Pagerank Firefox Add-on to check on PR while browsing a website, used to have another one which included Alexa checker, too. Now just limited to PR checker, gives less hassle at the end of the day
What made lose your ranking? It's currently showing " Traffic Rank for modernforums.com: 229,866 " I must say though, your Pakistan rating is excelent: 2,153 The toolbar I linked to in the first post can go to the right of the menu (where there is wasted space). It's really worth checking out as it shows related links, google PR, and has other nice options, and is out of the way.
Yes, it was 68,689. You're talking about the size of your rooster and hens but you're eggs have not even hatched yet. Are you inflating your ratings, or are you catering to the modern needs of Croatia and Pakistan?
Yes, but the current score on my site is from tool bars and the alexa badge on my main page. I've not falsely inflated my traffic by any other means. I've seen other threads which seem to say that one needs thousands of hits daily in order to this while my Analytics and Awstats both say I'm not even getting that monthly.
Depends on the type of crowd your website draws. Even though you may recieve thousands of visitors, if ur crowd is the geeky type and dont have Alexa toolbar installed, ull stll have a low rank
lol, if you know the trick then why are you not using this trick for your site, Actually i know the trick too which is very very easy to increase ur alexa rank but i dun have time to do this
There is a mod somewhere that reports every visitor through an exploit in alexa's system.. so it makes it appear that everyone that visits your website has the toolbar.
I'm not asking how to beat the system, I'm asking how am I beating it. I've got a rating that is seemingly hard to get. One that should take MANY more hits then I am getting. I am either proof the system is completely out of whack, or I am a prime business model to base your own pages on *boggle* I'm not exploiting the system, and am now at 94,930. I do have the toolbar installed, and I do have the badge on my main page, but neither should be considered exploits as they are offered by Alexa. It seems that Occultists and SEO'ers have more in common then I thought... Alexa :lol: Maybe it's my sig from here. It's certainly out of place among all the directory, host, and SEO links. *shrug* Q
It's not that hard. My site has an Alexa of 78,647 with a PR0. Mind you, it's getting around 450 uniques a day. Col
