    Hello every one,

    It would be great if any one kindly let me know whether alexa traffic ranking report reliable? Because when i am including my web site name in get traffic results it shows my traffic are coming from Philippines. But truly speaking i am not concentrating on Philippines. As we are concentrating at USA and UK.

    Can any one please tell me how to increase the reach in USA and UK
    Thanks in Advance

    Regards,
    Sunil Nair

    No because they tells you about traffic visited via their tools and browser which is not the total amount of you receives . So most of webmasters don't care about it .

    If you really want to increase your traffic ...... just post in relevant press sites and forums....also try to link with high PR websites for better placements....

    Regarding Alexa ranking ....never rely on it as its never been stable .....
    Lately, it was published in a news that alexa has started to incorporate other websites views using other tools for its traffic checking....but still it is and probably will never be equal to google analytics ......

    Alexa is for users who dont have much knowledge on SEO....
    so my friend...if you dont want to know your websites correct facts, continue using alexa....:D:D:D:D

    Although the traffic that comes from Alexa is not wholly universal, you have to admit it does look sexy if you can trick the system ;)

    i would`nt even bother with Alexa it is totally unreliable.

    i have one website with a low Alexa rating and another that receives 10 times the traffic but yet its Alexa is higher.

    that just means someone or several people in the philippenes have the toolbar installed that visit your site regularly. Alexa is easily "gamed" for that reason-

    they aren't reliable because they are only considering the ones that are using their tool bar.

    they use data from sites that are suing their tool bar, but most relevant sites uses their toolbar, therefore...
    I would say they are about the best you can get now...
