i have a doubt on the reliability of Google keyword tool because of following example, Keyword: sirasa Global Monthly Search Volume : 301,000 Local Search Volume: February : 40,500 according to this data the 1st result should get very good traffic but, the site which ranks 1 st on google for that keyword has the alexa rank 308,222 and that domain is also a damn old one alexa rank should be much higher if that site gets good traffic?? any SEO guy care to explain this Thanks!
Hi, The Alexa rank is based on the number of visitors visiting a site with the Alexa Toolbar installed. That's why it's a useless metric.... don't pay any attention to Alexa rankings and focus on your own rankings. PM me for more info.
Yep, for the most part don't rely on Alexa. But there are times when it's a good measuring stick and when it can be helpful. Example, if you are comparing two sites in the same market, then Alexa can be good for that.
i selected a keyword and google keyword tracker says , Global Monthly Search Volume : 74,000 Local Search Volume: February : Not Enough Data now if i rank 1st for this keyword i should get 700-1000 hits per day right? or are there other factors affect this?
Alexa is a tool just supporting you for little information about your competitor's traffic keywords only, that's enough for alexa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Facebook applications l Logo design
