    Hi all ,
    it's known that alexa ranking is one of the most used ranking in estimating a website activity

    i just created

    http://www.bluecirclet.com/

    3 days ago and i got some good visits for starting blog , about 170 perday
    no stumble or any other communities just comments and links back from other blogs
    but the problem is about the alexa rank for my site . it's still not ranked there
    i've had other blogs and it's now totally inactive and still ranked 7 or 8 mil
    i even has that blog on wordpress.com , that ranked 5 mil

    things i did .
    alexa sparky [ installed ]
    widget [ installed ]
    website info [ added to alexa directory ]


    any suggestions ?

    Alexa statistics aren't accurate and it's very easy manipulated. So it's useless from visitor viewers.
    For webmasters there are dozens of better stats tools. So it's useless for webmasters also :D .

    You're right about Alexa (*cough* SPYWARE *cough*), but PageRank does have its uses - it's an indicator of how popular a Web page is based on the number, quality, and relevance of links pointing back to it.

    Alexa's useless. DO you really want to believe that the W3C is more popular than CNN.com? (Because if you do, that's exactly what Alexa will tell you.)

    Don't worry about it.

    ignore alexa. there are better ways to measure your sites activity, like google analytics or statcounter.
