With the cater of various blogs, I am now awake around Alexa. It is fundamentally a means that displays the assets of reciprocation of a website. It is highly determining for the website owners and alter SEO experts so that they can easily hump the sign of backlinks dynamic to their websites. But, grouping are also sensing for a substance to experience whether the tract is tried or not. So, the Alexa senior is the key. Position the means in the web application, and you can actually get the information nigh the site's reliability and interchange. Notwithstanding, I don't jazz the deliver.

Alexa rank is useless. No real professional would consider it with any value or worth.

Alexa Rank is a decent indicator of a site’s popularity against other websites in the internet but cannot rely on it since it is not an established indicator of how well a site is regarded in Google.

Wrong. It is not decent, since it is easily manipulated.

All you have to do to increase your Alexa rank is open 50 tabs to your site, and set them to reload every 1 second.

One thing to think about with Alexa is A LOT of advertisers use it for determining if a site is worth investing on. If you have a poor Alexa rating those advertisers won't pay the big $$$. If you're not running ads on your site then Alexa rating is useless.

It shows you traffic rank by yahoo.

Alexa Ranking is basically like Page rank that only measures things at your site.

NO it DOESN'T.

Do YOU allow alexa access to your site logs?

The Alexa figures comes from the minuscule number of Alexa toolbar users who visit your pages and then those numbers are extrapolated (guesstimated) to all Internet users, and as Alexa toolbar users account for less than five percent of ALL Internet users this give the figure a greater than NINETYFIVE percent margin of error.

You don't need to be a statistical analyst to know that those numbers are not to be trusted.

It's a bit like asking the entire population of Belgium if they watch Baseball, then deciding it is not popular enough to be televised in the good ole' US of A.

I use to work for a media intelligence company that had us numbers from Alexa. We had our own set of media values and someone worked out a formula for us that involved those numbers. For some reason they seemed to think that they made them more accurate, but I never understood how they though that way. I can see where it might provide some assistance, but no where near enough to make any long term decisions based solely off the numbers they provide.

how does alexarank reflects only from users who have alexa toolbar?

i see that the ranks shown by alexa are fair for most of the sites i viewed so there must be another measure they use to figure out your traffic.

Alexa ranking offers you information about your Web site, it is a good tool to have in view of search engine optimization.

To your first point - some of the ignorant ones, eprhaps.

To your last point - that's a completely illogical comment. How? Why? When?

**comsar** · 05-04-2012, 07:20 AM

I'd say improve the quality and quantity of your backlinks to get ranked higher in alexa.
