Alexa shows efficient web statistics throughout the internet, 'it is not a joke'. It shows a close-to-accurate assessment of websites. The reason why DP is on 192 is because there're many other sites out there who have much better daily pageviews and visits/day like YouTube, Google, Flickr, Yahoo!, Bing and hundreds others. There's nothing wrong with it
lol. i like to check my alexa rank - i know how to inflate it, but i dont - i like to see how many people visit my site with the toolbar =)
Yeah, its very simple... Alexa is poo poo in terms of a number rank. But it does show relevant demographics, bounce rate, where your visitors are mostly coming from and so-on. So, to that point, its not poo poo. lmao!
I agree with you. That's what I am doing now, using the Alexa tools but ranking just to entertain and amuse myself.
For this thread to get so much interest it is obvious that Alexa is playing an important part in all webmasters working lives. Even if people dislike Alexa and believe that the figures are incorrect, I betthey still use and check there own scores, regularly.
Alexa isn't always right. I have a site ranking 1,195 (Dafont). And it gets 1.5MM UV daily. 1,195? Not enough, it should be 600.
Go to the BST forum, look for someone offering high Alexa ranking traffic (ie. users use the Alexa toolbar) - then pay a nominal fee to get your site a high Alexa rating, very flawed.
Alexa rank is non precise, etc yes is true However thats what the most people using internet will actually check to see if a site is good or not. 90% or more of internet users dont know how things really work, most dont even know there is a PR, etc, etc So a high Alexa Rank is good to impress "normal" people when seeing your site. I have that by experience on my site. I have a PTC with Alexa Rank 51.626. Thats doesnt mean really anything but users love to see it, as they as "normal" internet users take Alexa Rank in high consideration. So if you can as well boost your alexa rank, why not do it?
Aah!, once i used to depend on Alexa's ranking to be the best, but now-a-days i don't suppose to depend as analytics rule..! they give me the best of the data around. Google PRs are also one of the things on which we can judge website's capability.
I have tried every way possible to raise my Alexa rank, the funny part is a few months ago i was close to 4.3 Million rank and all of a sudden i am closer to 9 million??? how is that possible? i know for a fact i have more viewers and visitors that come to my site on a daily basis, however the ranks page say's otherwise??? also what's a joke is the links page, it currently tells me i have only 7 sites linking into my web-page, however i know for a fact i am listed on more then 15 sites and each site is separate, however according to alexa i have only 7 site linking my name. Can someone help me with this? if you need to check out what i mean go to cdmsales-services.com and let me know what to do please.
i dont really use alexa now for ranking, but it is fun once in a while among peers trying to boast w alexa ranking. quite entertaining. nowadays, i use it to search and figure out competitors keywords. any better ways to use alexa?
if it is somebody else's site, that Alexa is the best info about traffic you can have. No one shares their google analytics without a reason you know
