So I was checking out the top sites in the united states just to see if anything major has changed... and looks like alexa doesn't like google anymore.. The spot google is at, Alexa throws a pretty little ad over them.. and if I refresh, this problem still persists.. does anyone else have this issue? or does Alexa really hate google? PS, this problem doesn't show up on the global thing for yahoo, just on the US page where google is #1. Page: http://www.alexa.com/site/ds/top_sites?cc=US&ts_mode=country&lang=none Preview:
Of course. Once G will add their tracking toolbar to Chrome, Alexa will die almost instantly, since it is use almost by Indian (in particular) and Asian (in general), making this tool quite inaccurate. G trackbar on Chrome will be global and therefore, much more accurate....
I use chrome? It's amazing.. the only problem i've had, is the javascript in DP forums that you click the "I Think this is the best category" or whatever, doesn't enable the forms for use, so I have to jump over to FF to make new topics in DP, other than that....
it's a browser issue.it doesn't happen in IE. what do you see under facebook? they just need to tell their designer that there are people that use other browsers. the ad on the bottom is also messed up. you click on countries that google is not #1? i'm sure that amazon is really shaking in their boots over chrome.
Alexa is not used by Indians /Asians ,it is used only be webmasters to push up their alexa ranks... Ordinary people who browse know nothing about it..
I disagree. Because then, that would mean 50% of the population are webmasters. No the case. The Alexa toolbar is much more used by Asian and Indian. Making the scalable traffic comming from there mostly. So, if you have a site with 20% traffic from India, Alexa will show 90% traffic from India. It's just an inaccurate tool. When that tool will be on Chrome, it will be much more accurate because Google tools are used much more globally, making the tool more accurate. And people will go with accurate tools...
the answer is simple google filter users example if you live in france and go to google.com it will send you to google.fr and so on for every country so the rank you see for google.com is just a small part from google traffic
That is funny, but just a coding error! If not, then Alexa have it in for everybody at the number one spot of any country, Google or not!
In my opinion, I think it's just a designers fault... it's also miss placed using IE as well. And am almost 100% sure: Yahoo! is wishing not to rank first now.. specially for FF users
