    Here is the problem.
    I have a website. It had 1,100,000 rating with something like 50 visits each day.
    Just recently i completely changed my front page. Not redone but completely created new page......ever since my ALEXA rating is 12,000,000 and i have 3 times more people comming to my site..totaling about 150 visits each day. i don't get it?? can someone explain. maybe ALEXA need to crawl new site? and it takes time???


    Thanks in advance :)

    Alexa is slow at changing its rank. Just show the URL to a few people with Alexa toolbar installed and you will see some ranking changes. Unbelievably, but Alexa rank's may be based on the visits of a few people only...

    Never bother about the alexa ranking as it can be influenced by people accessing your site with the alexa enabled tool bar.

    Don't sweat it. Just worry about getting traffic and making money, or whatever your site does. Whatever clout you get from Alexa can be more of a factor as you move up.
