    freshware,


    ALEXA was originally an abbreviation for Address Lookup EXperts Authority.

    Alexa Internet, Inc. is a California, U.S.-based subsidiary company of Amazon.com that is known for its toolbar and website. Once installed, the toolbar collects data on browsing behavior which is transmitted to the website where it is stored and analyzed and is the basis for the company's web traffic reporting.

    Alexa ranks sites based on tracking information of users of its Alexa Toolbar for Internet Explorer and from integrated sidebars in Mozilla and Netscape.

    On March 31, 2009 Alexa.com got a complete redesign and new metrics including: Pageviews per User, Bounce Rate, and Time on Site.[16] In the following weeks they added new features including Demographics, Clickstream and Search Traffic stats.

    I'd like to know how it's calculated.

    I've seen websites with 2-3x more traffic then me and have a rating of 2million+, my personal blog is in top 400k and gets about 700 visitors a month so its either inaccurate or there is a lot more going on behind how the ranking is calculated.

    the rank is based on how many people who have the alexa toolbar installed visit ur site. so the site with a lot of traffic but, 2mil+ traffic rank would probably have a lot of users who don't have the alexa toolbar. generally sites that are of interest to webmasters would rank high on alexa since webmasters are usually the people who would have the alexa toolbar installed.

    There is no benefit to Alexa, it can be easily manipulated.
