ALEXA is really starting to annoy me because for the 8 months my site has been open, my alexa rank rapidly got better until June (with a peak of around 20,000) and then started to rapidly decrease to around 80,000). You can see the graph here: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/customizepsp.co.uk. Now recently, the past few weeks my website has received more traffic then ever before so what is up with the alexa rank? Why isnt it as good as previously? Anybody else experienced something like this before?
yeah.. if you want to increase your alexa rating just ask people to install it and use it when browsing your site.
Yeahh, well said, it is not possible that all the people which surf internet, and visit ur website have alexa toolbar installed. Alexa doesnt mean much to me. as i still have good alexa rank for my site.
Im pretty sure that alexa changed its algorithm at the start of the summer. My site stayed the same alexa rank yet it actually receiving over 1000 pageviews less per day.
The data given can actually be inaccurate because it only counts the visit from those with Alexa toolbar installed. That could be one of the reason why the figure is going up and down. Have you tried, inserting the Alexa codes at your site? This could enhance and give a consistent figure because every visit can now be counted.
