    Whats up w/ Alexa? My image upload site http://imgtags.com/


    Has been shooting up in rank, which is strange because I only get 65-90 visitors a day.

    that's very strange because i get almost 150 - 200 per day and still i am ranked like over 3,000,000.

    doesn't make sense at all.

    strange for me to, my alexa traffic rank is 1,200,000 however i get 400-500 unique per day and around 3000 page views per day AVERAGE!

    this is because the traffic rank is counted by the people who have an alexa toolbar on their browser, so this method is not really efficient!

    alexa recently deployed a new algorithm, so i suspect there are glitches with that. also alexa had a problem with some date a week or two ago and it was not reporting accurately.

    since alexa, compete, etc., use toolbars and isp traffic logs to calculate site ranks, it is very inaccurate. regardless, it is always good to see your site improve. :)

    My site got over 1000 unique hits for a month straight and my rank dropped to like 300,000? In the good old days my rank was 80,000 with 1000~ a day
