How legit is Alexa rankings? Is it strictly based on uniques? Are there any short term ways to improve your rank? Thank you.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - PLEASE STOP WORRYING ABOUT ALEXA RATINGS! They are so easy to fake its ridiculous. Especially for YOUR websites - if you already know how much traffic you are getting then Alexa is 100% a massive waste of time.
DLM, My knowledge of net marketing is very very limited. I'm reading up on all I can, but I'm constantly coming across posts regarding Alexa and page rank. I'm just trying to do what I can with getting online momentum built for my site.
mine for one site is above 2.000.000, but the unique v. avg is not very hight, so I don't see what alexa is good for.
PS3Tag.com (site has only been open for 1 month) 215, 587 SonyProtectionGroup.com 200, 364 My dream is to make it into the top 100 in Alexa. I know that's a big dream, but I think my PS3Tag.com site will achieve that in a year.
I think PS3 is a too limited market to reach Alexa <100. Most websites in the top 100 are for a very general audience.
I'd agree but it's being expanded past PS3 and what's already being offered. This won't turn into a general site, of course, but it will encompass the entire PlayStation family (possibly Wii with the idea of Wii Gamercards being tossed around). I think the market is big enough. It will be a challenge, no doubt, but I think it's possible
