I don't understand alexa , i had my site ranked about 400 000 k in 1 month and a half then suddenly i noticed for 2 weeks site in 1 week range site was ranked around 1 mil but i was still getting the same traffic , now alexa is stabilized and 1 week average is 190 000 . Do you know when alexa updates rankings ?
I'm quite new to running a website and I couldn't figure out what Alexa was offering me thorugh their ranking. I finally decided that Alexa is not a significant ranking that I need to worry about. I made a decision when I started my website that I'd only use free promotion methods. As a result I've used bookmarking sites like reddit, digg and del.icio.us to promote individual pages. I've noticed that I get little or no traffic from del.icio.us, very lttle from dig and lots from reddit, but only when I get myself on the 'new' page on a Sunday evening or other busy night. This conicided with Alexa ranking leaping (downwards, as it does) to about 1.5M from about 3M. I stopped promoting my site completely for about a month and my traffic levelled out. My Alexa ranking, however plumetted to about 5.5-6M and then dropped off the end to the 'no data available' status. I promoted about three new pages on reddit, digg and del.icio.us recently and my Alexa rank shot back to about 3M -ish with no noticeable sustainable change in my average daily traffic. This led me to realise that the Alexa toolbar is used by those that frequent certain sites or are interested in certain subjects. It's not widely used and isn't really representative of web traffic. Most websurfers haven't even heard of it. Don't get too worried about Alexa rank, it's not important by the looks of things.
Look .. install the alexa toolbar and run it 3 times in a day ,, ask ya friends to download alexa toolbar and enter your site .. you will see !! in 1 months my daily rank in alexa is 90.000 and i don't have many visitors .. Regards .
Someone has to visit your site while running the Alexa toolbar for them to monitor your traffic volumes. If you have a site with a niche without visits from a lot of tech-savvy people who would tend to run the toolbar, tough luck. I run a website with traffic from non tech-savvy individuals so I disregard Alexa.
Alexa is the one of the best site ranker on Internet. but it has only one problem if ur visitors uses alexa toolbar alexa will increase ur ranking day by day . i advice u to use Alexa widgets to ur site on every page or on that pages that has views much click here then it will no need for the toolbar and u will boost ur alexa rank
Dont pay attention to alexa ranking. I know it is fun to look at but a high alexa rank dosnt change anything. Your revenue and traffic are not affected by your alexa rank
I know it does not affect your traffic, but alot of people seem to want to use to determine if you area good link exchange partner though.
