Google fall to 4th rank in Alexa Traffic Rankings.

I don't think that's only a technical problem. If it is google will take legal action on alexa. Alexa can be that careless on google.

 

YAY! Someone who understands mathematics!

Read the above - the law of large numbers

It won't matter. Because what Google employees do to artificially inflate the count, it will still count for too little.

 

Alexa's ranking dropped? so what? Google is behind live and yahoo but they make more money from their search engines than Yahoo and Live, much more. Many people come to yahoo to read news, to read crap celebrity stories, and to find top 10 list for wasting their time. But people come to google to search for something: technology, medical articles, etc. With this, Google make a lot of money from their advertisers because many websites try to reach highly-targeted traffic through search engine's PPC policy. In the end, Google is still the winner. Don't forget that Google owns YouTube although I believe there is nothing special from YouTube, only entertainment, there are no popular informative videos there...

I ever had a site which got alexa traffic around 80,000. My site was about sport. People came to my site to read and to see video, nothing else. I didn't make a good amount of money. But then, i created a site which sell something and a little bit more serious. Now my alexa traffic is even not in the top 200,000 but I make 8x better income (from this site alone) than my oldie sport site.

 

alexa is not a website that i can use to rate my website..
and for google i think alexa is going crazy or there is something wrong with there system.

 

In my very limited experience, I believe I have seen a site drop in Alexa while achieving increasing unique clicks and business. I'm not sure what impact Alexa has or if a drop in Alexa actually means anything.

 

Now all things have changed.

 

Alexa is very inaccurate

 

I also do not use google search recently.

because G search appear too many unrelated results.

 

Does it really matter? I think Google still rocks. I do not even know how to go about integrating Live or Yahoo on my Blog and Google gives me everything... A webhosting, advertisig, search, Documents.. When I am logged into my PC I work on Google and not on my PC... It is the best thing since ganculator!!

 

yes, it is a big matter

when search results quality down users will move to other search sites.

 

Yahoo has now got new Glue search.

 

Well I would still prefer using Google.

 

Thats great.
