I don't think Alexa is so important. Alexa get their figures from only the ones who installed Alexa toolbar, so the statistics can only represent a tiny part of the fact.

  Page rank is to do with quality, relevant backlinks. And the pagerank displayed on the toolbar isn't necessarily your real page rank.
  
  Alexa is how you rank in the world for visits from a specific subset of the internet community: those people who have the alexa plugin installed.
  
  PR8 and Alexa Unrated is possible (although highly unprobable).
  PR0 and Alexa 88 is possible (although highly unprobable).

  I wouldn't say that is correct rule... I have a website with PR5 that is nowhere near alexa 20,000.
  
  On the whole I agree Alexa is not really that accurate, since it is based upon lots of IM who install the toolbar, and most the world has no clue about Alexa. Internet marketers can have a very different search pattern to that of a normal person and seek very different sites.
  
  Alexa serves as a rough indicator to a sites traffic, also you can sometimes find sites linking in that Yahoo or Google do not mention (Though I tend to use software for that...), some stats on traffic trends.

It doesn't matter one bit, that's what I think. It's innaccurate, for one. There are better sites that give much more accurate rankings.

Also, who cares about your rankings? You should be focused on your traffic and sales, that's all that really matters.

The best Alexa rank is 1 but anything under 100K is good. However, this kind of ranking can be easily manipulated and it isn't an accurate measure of site traffic.

In addition to Alexa ranking being irrelevant, it will also vary greatly depending upon who your readers are. The vast majority of the people who have the Alexa tool bar installed are webmasters and those who make their money online. So, if you have a web site that markets to other marketers, your Alexa ranking is likely to be a lot better than a site with similar amounts of traffic that markets to people who are just average web users.

redicelander nailed it. Don't worry about Alexa. Instead, focus on your own numbers. Things like:

Traffic
Conversion rates
Visitor values
Profits

Because you can have a great bottom line and a poor Alexa rank. Or you can have a great Alexa rank and a measly, embarrassing bottom line.

So forget about Alexa and focus on bringing the important numbers up.

Listen to these people. I have tested the myth of the Alexa toolbar.
Findings: As soon as I installed the Alexa Toolbar and left the
windows open for a few hours all the sites that I had open rankings
went up I did this for a few days and some improved from around
1,200,000 to 750,000.

Alexa appears to favor wordpress sites too.

Sure, I had sites with less then 200 000 Alexa ranking with only 10 - 15 visitors a day. I even clicked the site myself to get it down

. It can be manipulated, but if a popular IM blog has a 5 000 Alexa rank, I would think that this blog gets much much more than 10 visitors per day (3000 - 5000).

Alexa ranking has more to do with data transfer... If you look at sites that have big webmail programs you will find that there Alexa breakdown is showing that a lot of their traffic is coming from webmail, exc.

The biggest problem with Alexa is the fact that you can't cash your ranking in at the bank! I have found it to be one of the most uselsess stats you can focus on.

Knowledgeable buyers won't mind about Alexa rankings, and the others may not even know what Alexa is anyway.
It's also not a reliable indicator of achievement in traffic generation efforts. I'd say concentrate on your conversions and forget about Alexa.

The fact that your not a marketer doesn't escape anyone...I can assure you of that.

And you say you own 150 sites like it's an accomplishment, like other people don't? lol

I'm not going to get into a "mine is bigger than yours" here...

You always come into a thread like this and issue some "backhanded" comment aimed at one person or another, when in reality you are guilty of just about everything you chastise others for.

Someone says something about article submitters and spinners, and according to you, every program on earth that performs those tasks is a spam tool..........unless it's your tool, right?

Sorry to say, but you are just a hypocrite. One that owns a network of 150+ sites, one that sells sites for 30K, one that designs all kinds of custom software, that still does manual bookmarking for people.

it must be lonely on the top. I only hope one day that I too can be at your level - both in success and ethics.

As far as you making false claims about article submitters and spinners.. I have no article submitter and my opinion of them I will keep to my forum. As far as spinners, there are several good ones on the market (Glenn Leader owns one) with that said many of them are either junk or used improper.

This forum is increasingly, in my opinion, dominated by a handful of posters that post all throughout the day and do so in a way that is very off putting.

The larger their post count, the more full of themselves they come off, and, to me, whatever point they try to get across is lost in this needless arrogance.

Hey John,

I'm glad you are able to get some use out of the things that I post and share.

I try to stay away from topics/threads that have anything to do with what I teach or sell...ie article marketing, CPA, SEO etc...unfortunately, even when you are trying to be genuine some people see it as you trying to be promotional, and I've had some fairly long and in depth posts moved and deleted. So, for me, it's just a matter of "Is spending the next 30 minutes of my life typing this worth it".

Anyway, maybe I'll get more active

I agree with some other posters. Although Alexa rating is used to determine a websites popularity, it isn't all the accurate. Check and see how much traffic you get daily, monthly, yearly, etc. Then calculate others to see where you fit. But ultimately #1 Alexa Rating is the best. The farther you stray from it, the more unknown your website really is.

I do not think you should worry much about Alexa. Concentrate on optimizing your site and getting lots of traffic to your site. My husband(who is a webmaster) says that the reason a lot of people fail at trying to rank their site is that they worry too much about particular site stats. And while they try to concentrate their efforts on improving them they In the meantime they completely forget about the important stuff.

Alexa ranking is not an important factor any longer. You see, I have a blog that was just started about 1 month ago, but now, its ranking is about 580000, which is nothing for me. So, it is not wise to pay much attention to your Alexa ranking.

Hmm.

I have a site which had a PR2 in google after just one month. Genuine.

And that was a brand new domain I made up.

Does that mean google is not worth paying attention to?

Thanks

Good input I appreciate evryones feedback and I agree Alexa does not mean squat in the big scheme of things, but it is a little indicator even though its not perfect of the traffic a blog, or a website receives.

What really matters is your conversions, and sales I could not agree more. Thanks for everyones input I appreciate your opinions!

Thanks

I would ignore alexa. I have 2 sites with 100 visitors a day. One is alexa 77,000, the other is alexa 800,000. Largely depends if your visitors have the toolbar installed.

For your own site, just install statcounter or analytics. For other sites ... well there is no accurate way to tell. If buying a site get them to show verified analytics data. Ignore alexa.

P.S. A quick way to get Alexa < 1M, if you really care: Post a link to your site on this forum and ask for a review.

Thanks

Anything under 100,000 is pretty decent. Alexa rankings are not 100% reliable, so don't put all your eggs in one basket and rely on it for exact traffic analysis. Put some analytics on your site and get the stats that are more accurate.

Alexa ranking is important to me. When you target a market that is 100% webmaster and internet marketer, you want to find out what they are interested in and what other sites that are frequenting.

Alexa is a great tool for that.

As far is it being manipulated or not accurate (oh, you mean like Google, EZA, etc...) - open your eyes and use a little common sense. It is very accurate for the sites that matter in regards to above.

This is one of those topics where people just jump on the bandwagon and bash it because networker "A" said it is crap.

Forget about your own Alexa rankings people - if you aren't getting hundreds of thousands of visitors per day then it is truly inaccurate, but watch and look for the primary sites which are consistently in the top 10,000 and you can bank seriously using Alexa. If you would spend a little time researching you'll see that it is easy to tell what sites are being manipulated and which are legitimate.

Am I the only person who can see that?

Allen

p.s. Some of those posts above are classic - LMAO - and should open some peoples eyes.

Not me sir ... I bashed it because of my personal experience. No one else told me to bash it.

I actually uninstalled sparky from my home computer because I find it a silly distraction. If I need a random number generator, I can code one myself. :rolleyes:

Very fair comment! That's why I didn't say "everybody."

I still think it is a great tool when used as described above.

From my own websites, anything with Alexa under 300,000 is already a site pulling constant daily traffic, maybe 500 visitors a day or so.

Don't mind alexa ranking. It's a disaster. I have a site that barely gets
any traffic, yet is has an alexa rank of 100,000. On the other hand I have
websites that get well over 1000 daily, and their alexa rank is over 500,000.

but yeah, Alexa should be paid about 0% attention to, which everyone learns at one time or another.

I really don't care!

If some third party site tells me that my site rank is 24,000,000 but I am making $1000 a month then I won't care.

I'm making my money and what alexa thinks about me doesn't bother me.

Yep - just because any specific person hasn't figured out how to use it doesn't mean it is useless. Like I said before, a little common sense and ingenuity can sometimes go a long way.

It is always good to have goals and benchmarks to work with. Together with Google PR and also income and traffic stats, Alexa is one of the few that can help you to measure how you are doing.

Alexa ranking is also a great resource when defending your advertising price, or trying to sell a website.

I would say top 100.000 is a great club, and should be looked on as a great achievement. Still, these are no top dogs that I have heard of. (the websites ranked around 100.000)

In my opinion, you can use Alexa to compare yourself to your competition. Find out what alexa level your competitors are at, and work towards topping them. I would not obsess about it thogh.

I would say keep an eye on your web stats and forget alexa.

I've launched sites that started pulling right away with no alexa rating at all.
With some good IM technique you don't even need to be in google yet, although it does certainly help.

use article submission sites to get quality back links to your site.

feel free to contact me if you need any more help or tips with SEO
or making money online.

If the website is in a IM niche, I always look at their Alexa ranking, just to give me some vague idea of the sites popularity. You'll never see a IM blog with a PR 6 and 7 000 000 Alexa ranking.

Hi Ursa - Hows things been going ...

As for the Alexa rank, I do have one site that fully blocks Alexa Bots and Toolbar. The site gets 300+ visitors a day and Alexa has it ranked at 18 million. Now the site is not in IM but does not matter as anyone else could do the very same with any site.

This is why those that try to use Alexa to track competition is wasting their time. You also can manipulate the keywords, bounce rate, time on site, and other stats Alexa has... I know some that actual do this to throw competition off..

James
