people see like this way, the less you have alexa the more your site is popular and when you sell your site it helps you in your sales i agree with "FFMG's Reply
The data which Alexa provide is not accurate enough. They only consider the traffic where their toolbar is installed and very few users uses it so their ranking is not reliable. If you want to see if your website is popular enough check your traffic and concentrate on improving that only.
Thanks FFMG for a descriptive response.. so basically the ranking in Alexa are a reflection of SEO efforts and not the other way round, right?
Dont go with alexa ranking it is mere a rating of a site, you can rank high without having good alexa ranking.
I personally love to see my alexa page rank improve. it means im getting more traffic. whether it helps seo or not is irrelevant. i don't think page rank has much effect on seo either but we all love to see a good page rank on our websites.
By using this page: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo I have been monitoring how many backlinks Alexa detects for my Blogs. It must be some signal of the ranking of my page, or at least to know if my backlinks building efforts are producing some results. In this case, I think that this is an important tool to monitoring my backlinks, but I don't know why Alexa doesn't detect backlinks from social bookmarking sites. Though I've made a lot of backlinks from those places, from this page I never have found any of those places listed. Do you know why those places are ignored by Alexa?
