Alexa Traffic and Site Traffic

    1.000 hits per day, although my site's Alexa rank somehow does not fall. What causes that?

    My site: www. metin2-plus.blogspot. com

    Alexa has different strategy for analyzing site traffic I think.

    Alexa is worthless, my sites get over 100K daily and their rank, is low but not how it should.

    Well Alexa Rank never be accurate. From my own site experience, Alexa shows one of referral site gives me 30% traffic but Google Analytics shows just less then 1%.:D So you can understand how it's accurate.:D

    I believe the Alexa numbers are complete BS, after they made some changes they got a little bit better, but from my experience they are simply not accurate at all, enough so that I don't remember the last time I even bothered looking at it.

    Alexa rankings are useless but if you get good score, you can use it for selling banners at higher price... just like high PR

    How exactly does Alexa track traffic, when they do not have any code embedded in our websites?

    Alexa register mainly the bandwith used by the website, means if you upload 2 GB of stuff and download as much daily, you can get a good alexa ranking even thoug you are the only visitor, I said that because it happen to one of my site, I uploaded and downloaded loads of stuff and one day I wanted to check my alexa, at some point I was in top 100 000.... pretty stupid

    As far as I know, Alexa only counts the visits by the users with Alexa toolbar installed. It has nothing to do with the bandwidth used (how can Alexa find out this info?) and nothing to do either with any Alexa code in the site.

    How many people do you know that have Alexa toolbar? I know no one. That's why Alexa ranking is not accurate. You get 100,000 hits and Alexa probably see only 5%.

    If you want to improve your Alexa ranking (and also see how stupid its ranking), install Alexa toolbar on your browser and start visiting your site in a daily basis. In 1 or 2 weeks you will see some improvement. Oh, but you have to use Internet Explorer or Firefox and it must be on a PC, because Alexa toolbar does not work on any other browser nor on any mobile. Now, can Alexa be accurate if they don't count visits from mobile or from suffers using Opera, Chrome, Safari... ?
