Alexa address info for site registration

    I originally registered my site to a Canadian address and notice that the search engines send mostly people searching the Canadian prefered search engines like google.ca or yahoo.ca

    The problem is, our main target is the U.S.A. and we have changed the address on the ownership details but it hasn't changed on the Alexa site info which is what is used to determine what visitors to send.

    How do you change the Alexa address? I think they use the very first one they enter for new sites and don't change it.

    any idea how to fix this?

    Just a tip for everyone. If you are catering to the U.S. market, make sure you get a U.S. host and use a U.S. address.

    I have no clue to be honest. They didn't even use the original contact info I submitted.

    you can change your alexa address easily.
    I did that for a few of my sites :)

    how though? Through the registration? Or writting Alexa.

    Yes, you can change it but how do you get Alexa to change it? It is not as if it is done instantly.

    I changed it last month to a U.S. address and it still shows the Canadian and thus the Search Engines send more Canadian Traffic than U.S.

    it doesn't really matter to search engines heh
    but through their sites yes
    I did it lots of times and it only takes few days usually, you need to use an email from your domain

    For Alexa inclusion, I was asked to keep into my root directory a file called info.txt with url, site's name, description, and information such as address, phone, etc.

    That way each time Alexa crawls my site, always retrieves up-to-date info.
