Hey I have been running http://www.geeks4share.com, a blog for 7 months. It's alexa ranks is 224,184. Recently I got page rank 3, but i have only 10 backlinks according to alexa. I get only 80-100 Visitors per day with bounce rate of 70% whereas the sites having alexa rank more than mine, is getting more visitors more page views than my site. What could be the reason to have better alexa rank than those sites??? Getting 80-100 visitors per day, but getting 0 comments for my blog posts. I doubt that those traffic may be BOTs. My cpanel stats are showing 500 visitors per day, but google analytics is showing just 80-100. I have a forums running in my site. Forums stats are showing 400 page views per day, but no registration no comments no posts!! which one to believe? What do you think about the traffic?? Human(real) or BOTs???? I am very confused. Regards Praveen
yea... me too but a site with 80-100 visitors per day can get alexa rank 224,184? while sites having more traffic than mine is behind me
This is simply a common sense issue. Alexa ranks you on how many people with their toolbar installed visit your site. You seriously think bots now install the alexa toolbar while crawling sites?? Perhaps the bots think the toolbar looks real nice? Mate, in case you couldn't tell the above was sarcasm. It's human traffic.
It's well and good if it's human traffic Thanks for your reply but still i have the page rank confusion !! i have only 10 backlinks... but pr is 3
Nothing too out of the ordinary. Mainly when I first started out on the web (but sometimes even to this day) I'll have low traffic sites with a decent PR. Infact I had a PR4 site that was a piece of shit - not informative, no interesting content (just a load of crap that only a 16 year old would think up) and it probably got no mroe than 300-400 visitors a month.
It's human traffic. It can be hard to build a following of people who will comment on your blog. You maybe targeting the wrong keywords too?
I wouldn't worry about alex rating, it's a VERY poor indicator of traffic, google analytics is all you need.
