I was checking the Alexa rank for eWebPages Directory and noticed that Alexa now lists a few related links and wondered if this info is collected from Alexa toolbar users? People who visit this page also visit: Microsoft Small Business Directory sbd.bcentral.com Librarians' Index lii.org Best of the Web Directory botw.org This directory is only a couple of months old, so I was surprised to see related links listed. A niche directory of ours has been online for about 8 months, but it doesn't have any related links listed yet. Any ideas?
Just took a look now at 65,904 don't really know the answer to your question exactly but this has happened to us in the past on some of our sites. After years and years of just existing Alexa have been making some site changes recently and are now powered by new sources, maybe this has helped with your related links. Like G, Alexa is very individual, and virtually no outsiders know how the sites work, all P&C
Yep, Toolbars which collect such info are known as SpyWare 'This includes Google Toolbar' Just don't use them!
