    Concerns over Alexa rank information and the Alexa Toolbar

    Alexa ranks sites based on visits from users of its Alexa Toolbar for Internet Explorer and from integrated sidebars in Mozilla and Netscape. In addition to their own statusbar extension, Sparky (released, July 2007), there are several third-party extensions for Mozilla Firefox.

    * SearchStatus shows Google PageRank and Alexa TrafficRank
    * About This Site Firefox plug-in that shows metadata from Alexa TrafficRank.

    i think what also counts is the amount of bandwidth you use. for example i run an arcade website and so is my brother. for some time he kept getting more visitors but i was using more bandwidth as my visitors played more games. so my ranking was higher. therefore i think ranking might be influenced by bandwidth usage also.

    i don't know for sure. i think nobody knows

    no, am not saying that. if your alexa rank is over 4million+ then sometimes your site may lose alexa rank. one of my clients had an alexa rank of 6.5mill and now he dosenot have any alexa rank.

    alexa ranks have no effect on better crawling or better rating,

    how can alexa know, how much bandwidth you are using?

    Alexa widget? Must look that up as I've not heard of that before.

    I'm sure that Alexa have other methods of collecting traffic details other than the toolbar these day but I could be wrong..

    I think the biggest message is to not get too hung up on your Alexa ranking because it doesn't bring in more traffic.

    By all means get your friends to download the toolbar tho and click on your site daily ;)

    Good luck,

    Let me know if there's anything that I can help you with :)

    Cheers, p.

    pondlife nice I to agree it really does not drag in much traffic"

    but the widget does help your viewers see that your site has ranking I wonder why their widget is so overly looked after" I mean Alexa is just a old type of site really original and more ancient type of inclusion" "so what" we need more visual light houses online one that greatly improves traffic
    Cheers"

    Alexa is indeed a bunch of crap and has been since day one. So many people have fallen for it, I can't wait until no one cares about it anymore and webmasters stop catering to it.

    Try to offer the alexa toolbar for download on your website. This can help dramatically improve your ranking if you already have a good visitor base.

    Alexan rank is just seem worthless to me. I can be easily manipulated. If visitors to your website do not have tool bar installed then it does not improve your rank. I have some sites that i constantly update my self and reload pages and within days I see my alexa rank increase. I am more concerned with the amount of traffic my site gets than anything... that can be easily tacked and it is accurate.

    This is correct, you need to the toolbar installed for Alexa to register a hit. Thats why Alexa is not accurate unless you look at seo, web related websites

    I got blown away when Alexa left my site completely but it seems to be coming back" the weird thing is the lower you rank the better I guess thats why Alexa baffles me and everyone else on this topic
