Do You Believe Alexa Rank - Check It

You want to keep your Alexa rank high? Isn't a low rank better than a high one

 

I like Alexa - makes me laugh when ppl say that it's not accurate because you can manipulate it - well don't manipulate it then LoL ... if you don't cheat it then it is good and has always been pretty accurate with my traffic and stats ... for instance if I have a high traffic day then alexa usually reflects that also.

 

I have had a pretty similar experience. My alexa rank was getting better everyday with increase in my blog traffic, but since the last week or so, the visitors to my blog has seen a steady decline..and even the Alexa rank has begun its journey upwards!

sumtime the alexa toolbar rank is not the same with alexa.com.
i dont understand why?
is my toolbar doesnt work correctly.. i dont know.

 

Same as PR with Google - that changes constantly - the only changes are the bars update periodically.

 

i dont think alexa is accurate. You can easily get 1,000,000. If you have large list on your YM then every day, send them message with your url.

 

yes what I meant was low rank

 

To get in the top 1000 000 is no real challenge, I have sites parked that are under 700 000 and with no effort at all, Alexa starts to play ball when you are under 100 000 and gets serious when you are under 10 000, then the top 1000 is most accurate.

To get in top 1000 000 you only need 10 visits day ... and millions of sites should do that regularly.

 

is this always true ?!! i have a website with 100-300 real UV a day and it was above 2 million ?!!
i even bought some traffic here and now i have anywhere between 1k and 3k visits a day (some of them fake) but still the rank is not that good at all, currently just below 2 million ?!!

 

It depends who you ask. Some people put a lot of significance on Alexa Rank, Google Page Rank, and How many Yahoo links they have.
I used to also, but now I just kind of look at them as a badge of honor (except the links of course) and not a reflection of your sites success.

Good Alexa, doesn't mean good traffic, it just means some traffic, which can be done with a good bot program that shows differing IP's. And a high Google Page Rank doesn't man high traffic.

Just numbers will make you feel good, but if it's not converting, then what does it matter.

The numbers I worry about the most are percentage of conversions over total visitors, and average time spent on the site...those are good indicators that you are making money, and have engaging content....if those are low, then none of the others really matter at all do they ? You are still broke.

I have never sold a website and had an experience webmaster ask me about the Alexa rank....they ask how much money it makes, and where the traffic comes from.

If that is true, then it is highly unstable and inaccurate.

 

I've noticed that my Alexa ranking is best in India (in the 200,000 range), followed by US (700,000 range) and the overall score is in the 1.8 million range.

What does this mean? Alexa toolbar users are highest in India. Not only that, but I've found that my Alexa score increases dramatically when I participate on the forums, particularly DP.

I DO NOT HAVE AN ALEXA TOOLBAR because I must use Chrome, the only browser that does not crash on my 6-year-old Dell computer.

Imagine what is going to happen in May, when Google releases the Alexa toolbar for Chrome!

 

Alexa ranks just keep fluctuating all the time, But i really dont care about it,
because its easy to manipulate Alexa rank with some common sense.

 

Alexa has changed its algo
and this algo is totally crap
I know a site that used to be 80k n now its below 10k within 2 weeks and there are hell lot of sites better than it

 

Alexa is just crap...my stats are changing every day about 100K

 

odd. i stick with compete, usually.

 

Alexa works better if you have the widget on your site : http://alexa.com/siteowners/widgets
You won't get acurate rankings of your site if you don't let Alexa to measure somehow your traffic

 

I am not using any Alexa widget still I ' m getting good rank.

 

is this the same as Alexa tool-bar

 

why Alexa don't have itself rank: does Alexa not believe itself? :-(
