Alexa has changed its Ranking Algorithm. According to Alexa, We listened to your suggestions, and we believe that our new rankings system is much closer to what you asked for. We now aggregate data from multiple sources to give you a better indication of website popularity among the entire population of Internet users. Do you ant idea on "multiple sources" of data collections?
My ranking increased from 2million to 1.3million... Pretty terrible. I would like to know how they have changed their algorithm. Why do these companies always keep things so secret!!
My ranking went up 50,000 which i'm pleased with i guess. People might start to take alexa rankings a little more serious now. -- Phil
Nope they are using other sources and not just the toolbar now better results means that the traffic rankings are now more accurate
thats bullshit. f-ing alexa. my site went from like a top 2000 site to a top 10,000 site.... what is this bullshit?
One of my sites went up, another went down. Personally, I'm happy that they're working on improving their algorithm and including sources beyond their own toolbar. My hopes would be that they continue to improve it.
Wow, DP sure did drop! Like 100 to 900. Most of my sites are showing better ranks now though. Pretty cool, but still not accurate.
UtahLuxury.com wasnt ranking well because we only had regular non-webmaster traffic. Now the algorithm is showing that we are in with good company and at a much better spot. My ranking is improving and I am happy to see that we (the non-webmaster websites) are being treated equally.
ive just opened a new article site and i know i shouldnt but i do when i get a new site to get it off the ground abit in the rankings i use a rank enhancer software which give's me hits from proxy sites, i wonder if there change will affect the software being as it only use's proxy site's to give hits,
My site (signature, below) went from 1,832,635 to 985,115 This reflects one thing very obvious: they are relying less on Alexa Toolbar Data collected from people with Alexa spyware installed on their computer. Look at Digital Point (this site): Alexa score before changeover = 301 Alexa score after new algorithm in effect = 938 Since this site is mostly visited by webmasters (many of whom use Alexa toolbars & SEO Quake), it makes sense that a site like this one would have a WORSE alexa score: the Toolbars are WORTH LESS (NOT "worthless"........but the Tool bar data is not worth as much as they were last week.... )
