any one plz explain in simply in a few sentence how alexa rank works ?? and is it necessary to count their page rank for site traffic
Ranking in Alexa is irrelevant, as the number of real world people who use Alexa for search is practically non existent. Focus on Search Properties people actually use... Google, Yahoo, Bing and to a lesser extent Ask
they collect info based on alexa tool bar and give ranking. Its not needed to pay attention much on alexa
They are just a ranking website which has been used worldwide now but few who dont have much alexa rank say dont put any of concern on it.. They calculate the ranking depedning on traffic and Backlinks
Alexa rank is much important to get ads from companies. Traffic is the main thing you need to focus to get best alexa rank.
Alex is rankings are skewed to websites webnasters disproportionately visit unless you are in the top 10000 sites it doesn`t mean much download the tool bar and visit your site a few times a day and watch your ranking skyrocket.
Alexa rank is determined by how many alexa toolbar users visit your site. Most people use alexa rank as a method of gauging how popular your site is and how much you can charge for advertisement space on your site. The general consensus is its pretty useless since it measures alexa users not everyone. However, it might be worth it if you plan on selling your site in the future.
basically what the other guys said. it only counts people with the alexa toolbar, which is only the other people who care about alexa rankings.
Some of the criteria that are taken into accounts are: 1. Traffic, 2. Backlinks, 3. Search volume to your site. As others said here, it measures activity based on the users that have the toolbar installed, but I recommend you NOT to neglect all the data there, as the information you will find might be key in reassessing your search engine optimization strategy. A wise developer/business owner would use the information found on Alexa.com in conjunction with other precise real time web/mobile analytic tools (Google Analytics, Clicktale, etc.) to optimize hers/his online marketing strategies.
Alexa is to see how do you get along with the traffc, in what country is it the most popular. It also tells you the backlinks that you have but this is updated very hard.
alexa ranking is not important at all, so you don't want to worry about that. Just use google analytics to get all details of your site
Well alexa ranking can be easily manipulated and get to the higher rank as possible. So I guess this is not so much of an important stuff for any website. It only work if your viewers/readers also have alexa toolbar installed in their computers. So to get the rank closer, you can use the automated free softwares and later ask as many as your friends to download the toolbar and view your site atleast once a day. I am sure your alexa rank will come within 100k
Hey there, I have one question related to Alexa ranking. I want to know that how they beneficial for us, if it is high or it is low like; Google 1/10.
Hello Everybody, The Alexa ranking is kind of like one of those annual popularity polls in the real world for your favorite movie actors and celebs. Alexa gives a website its ranking by keeping tabs on its traffic history. This traffic data is gathered on a day to day basis from those that have the Alexa toolbars installed in their web browsers. Thanks for sharing Smith Jones
I think alexa uses traffic and backlinks to do their ranking. If you really want to rank high then you need traffic.
