Hey Everyone, My site, www.dailymoolah.com only shows one backlink when running a linkback search on alexa, but i know of many more sites backlinking on me on technorati and through wordpress. How can I remedy this?
It doesn't update for months on end and when it does, it's like google. It only provides a small sample. Don't obsess over it.
Alexa will only show a small part of your back links like Google does. I get the feeling that only links from the first page of a site counts in Alexa, but I'm not sure. /Andreas
Overall, yahoo google msn and yes, alexa show a different number. Conduct a search thru yahoo siteexplorer. they have the most accurate # of links.
thanks for all the responses guys. I've installed the alexa widget on my site to atleast accurately reflect traffic.
Alexa is not accurate because users must have the Alexa Toolbar or widget to be tracked. All in all, Alexa is not a valuable tool to gage traffic since it is so reliant on cookies/Alexa Toolbar to track info. Google Analytics is more accurate, but that too can be wrong if the visitor is blocking java script.
