    Alexa is more important for those websites which have to sell or buy any service, Also for those who provides advertisement on their website. People believe Athose websites most popular which have high Alexa rankings. Alexa rank usually decreases when visitors to the websites increase.

    To improve Alexa ranking, You can follow these techniques:
    1. Install the Alexa toolbar
    2. Add Alexa widget to your website/blog
    3. Best quality backlink
    4. Write unique content
    5. Daily update on website/blogs
    6. Sharing your content on social websites
    7. Make your content user shareable

    Alexa ranking has nothing to do with your site SEO. You need alexa data if you want to sell ad spaces on your website. Google do not count alexa ranking as their ranking algorithm and it totally useless.

    The algorithm according to which Alexa traffic ranking is calculated, is simple. It is based on the amount of traffic recorded from users that have the Alexa toolbar installed over a period of three months. This traffic is based on such parameters as reach and page views.

      Wrong. It's calculated using some of their own data, some guesswork, lot's of logic, and plenty of gleaning of other ranking lists.

      In fact, they tell you flat out that other than the top sites, that are common knowledge, the rest are purely meaningless and should never, ever be used for anything other than entertainment purposes.

      You people need to realize that amazon.com owns this little baby. They want a huge slice of the internet pie. And they are getting it.

      Anyone who uses alexa to sell ad space, is snake oil salesman.

    Alexa only rank sites based on its popularity such as the number of traffic it receives.

    If your site receives the highest number of visitors in a month, you will get the first spot in alexa.

    Aside that, it's a useless metrics...

    My patience has finally run out with these effing threads about Alexa.

    So for every member who does not know about, or is too lazy to use the forum search function, here is a list of all the threads started this year alone about this site.

    Perhaps we can refer members to this thread in future, and hopefully get a mod to lock any new ones.

      Because PR is not open to the public, idiotic seo wannabes have to revert to something else. Amazon has been very successful in getting tons of webmasters to care about their little baby. Amazon wants people to care. To shmooze. To worry.

      But they tell you up front. If your site is at 500,000....and the next week you see it at 450,000....it's meaningless. Totally meaningless. But that webmaster is celebrating! So is amazon!

  • Alexa simply give you stats on how many visitor land on your site and view pages. The algorithm according to which Alexa traffic ranking is calculated, is simple. Alexa has nothing to do with SEO and it will not affect you google ranking.

      ROTFLMAO! If that's true, then your competition has no competition.

      No competition from you, anyway.

      Checking other site's alexa? Man is that a new low? Yup, but not for long!

      You will find NO ONE'S traffic using alexa.

      Now here's an odd tid bit to toss around in an otherwise useless thread:

      Why did amazon name their new ( and amazing) toy "alexa"?
      Isn't one alexa enough? Or are they onto something?
