    Who Uses Alexa As a seo tool?

    I added the widget to this site>>http://www.sleekbusiness.com/ on the side bar
    but I don't have the tool bar loaded on the fire fox browser" will the widget still work? " any comments are fine I mean really they are";)

    I hear Alexa can make a difference over all on your site";)

    You should never use Alexa to measure anything. Their stats are incorrupt and should only be taken as a pointing finger..

    Yeah, that's my opinion at least. And it's pretty much based on the fact that they require to have the Alexa toolbar installed to measure peoples surfing habits. And correct me if I'm wrong, but Firefox users can't get this toolbar?

    Cypherus I some what dis agree "

    one thing though alexa is the root of all search engines" never doubt the tool you havent used" see my sig line sleekbusiness.com scroll down on the side bar you will see the Alexa widget packed with traffic and rank." note this Cypherus I do not have the Alexa tool bar on my browser at all and the widget is still collecting data tell me how that happend? " maybe I invented a new type of seo ses, I look forward to proving my inventive theory's every where"

    thanks Cypherus

    It is interesting to look at Alexa ranking always. But I cannot use it as a serious tool.

    ^ i agree with roksolana. it's interesting to have a somewhat broad/general view of where our site is ranking but it's not the only tool i use to measure traffic and such.

    Alexa is a sample. It is inaccurate but for large sites, I believe it provides quite an accurate message.

    roskolana thanks for the plug in" If I could I would put a alexa widget on all of my sites but it seems like alexa takes a while before they find and index your domain" one thing roskolana" do you agree that if you put the alexa widget on your site even before your listed with Alexa" that it might help Alexa find you faster? let me know if you agree or dis agree" much appreciated";)

    May be, Aaron111, but Alexa successfully rates my site without alexa bar put on. It shows 1.200.000-1.400.000. I don't know if this rating will change if I put alexa toolbar in my site. Any way I am not going to install it. Did you try to compare?

    Alexa ranking is nice to know. The rate it is fluctuating is making it easy to use.

    roksolana;) i was actually referring to the widget not the tool bar" you can see the widget here> at sleekbusiness.com if you scroll down on the right side bar you will see the Alexa widget on my site the inclusion is the incoming traffic and the links coming in" take a look and let me what you think of the appearance" again I have a widget on > trafficdirectries.com as well its a word press blog like sleekbusiness.com but Alexa did not find me yet im hoping they will" thats why I placed the live Alexa widget their as well" again my seo theory is as good as anybodies" what you see is what you get" I like that thought I apply this to all my inclusions online dearly":rolleyes:

    Yes Aaron, you are right! It's the "root" of all earch engines. Just having that toolbar installed "guarantees" the visit of sites you opened in your bowser by Mr. googlebot.

    I looked at alexa widget on sleekbusiness.com site. It shows very low rating for now. How long do you use it? Is there serious changes?
