Hello All, I have got my blog, www.websack.net to 560,000 . I just wanted to know more about Alexa. I have learnt that Alexa rankings are calculated from the visitors who have Alexa Toolbar. So, what do you have to say about it? Please... Feel free... Does it really matter?
Dear Echo@CyberDude A lower Alexa number means a greater level of traffic, and the traffic drops off logarithmically. You can fake a good Alexa score using various techniques, but if it shows your rankings in the millions then your site likely has next to no traffic. Anything less than 100,000 is great Alexa is widely tooted as a must use tool by many marketing gurus. The problems with Alexa are: -- Alexa does not get much direct traffic --Asmall change in site visitors can represent a huge change in Alexa rating --Alexa is biased toward webmaster traffic --Many times new webmasters are only tracking themselves visiting their own site Alexa by itself does not mean that much, but it simply provides a rough snapshot of what is going on. It can be spammed, but if a site has a ranking in the millions then it likely has little traffic. It is also hard to compare sites in different industries. For example, if I created a site about weight loss there would be many more people searching for it than a site about knitting. Also,oneshould not forget the webmaster bias the tool has, which means my site will have a higher Alexa rating than it should. Visit the www.alexa.com for more details Hope this helps Regards Tehmina
It seems like Alexa is more for bragging rights than anything else. Since the user has to be using the Alexa toolbar for it to even make a difference, I don't see how it could even be that accurate.
Well... Mate! Whats NEWISH? However, You can get a good ranking in the countries rankings. But, getting into top 100,000 in worldwide is very very very hard.
There is some controversy over how representative Alexa's user base is of typical Internet behavior. If Alexa's user base is a fair statistical sample of the Internet user population, Alexa's ranking should be quite accurate.
Many affiliate and Blog Review site matter your Alexa rank to know your visitor area and traffic to approve your blog or website thats it.
I don't usually rely on Alexa and honestly I don't give much important to it... The two important things that matters to me is SERP and Conversions!
Each blog has its own unique goals that can’t necessarily be tracked by any particular ranking system. These measures and rankings are useful, however, especially in a number of situations that we’ll look at later in this article.
Alexa is ok to check out but do not put alot of focus in it, at the end of the day you want traffic to your site which buy or generate you income in someway to make a site work.
Alexa isn't that important. Focus more on getting good rankings on your site. Don't get obsessed on having high Alexa Ranks.
