Ok, I've asked a couple questions, but something jumped out at me recently in another post. I've been having an issue where my site is dropping in numbers and visitors. Someone in another post pointed out my Alexa ranking, which I look at a every once in awhile. My alexa ranking is improving but my site is dropping. How can this be this case? And I mean in Semrush my site is dropping 10,000 visits per day. It's been a slow bleed over a year, but alexa has my ranking up? I hope I put this in the right place on the site, and I will not keep asking questions. I just had some specific stuff.

    Probably a dumb question - but you do know that with Alexa - the LOWER the number, the better the score....right?

    LOL I am aware that lower numbers are better. I was at over 100,000 in the US, now I'm at 59,000. In Oct of last year we were at around 100,000 unique visits and now we are at 50,000 roughly visits, but our Alexa ranking is getting better stats are getting worse.

    Also, I do not use an Alexa bar. I do not do anything to inflate that number.

    I think I just found the issue. 1/2 my traffic is going to http the other half is going to https. Or so it seems.

      How it can possible that half website work on http and https.
      And another thing there will no stable SEO ranking for any website As you know very well lots of website performing a great aspect with their website . So ups and down comes. Are you using the Google Analytics its a great tool and genuine results . And in every minutes the ranking fluctuate. Hope yo are getting my point.

    As an add; Alexa is virtually worthless these days when it comes to being an influential metric. Just something to keep in mind.

    Alexa is not working properly now a days. you can try anything different. And google analytics is the best tool to track the accurate result.

    Alexa rank doesn't really mean anything. Dive into analytics and see where you lost most of your traffic from. Get into search console and see if you lost some valuable keyword rankings. Or better, run some scans from SEMRush if you are using that. Did you drop rankings? Did you lose a big referral source? Was the traffic you lost real to begin with or was it just bot traffic?
