What is Alexa Traffic Rank?
Alexa Traffic Rank |
If you are like me you hate long winded definitions so I will be blunt and quick. Alexa is a website traffic data analysis company that is owned by retail giant Amazon.com and specializes in website (Blog) data and traffic analysis relating to all websites on the internet.
What does this mean for me??
Well what this simply translates to is that Alexa is quickly becoming like all Amazon products and programs the go to benchmark when comparing two (2) websites or analyzing website traffic data, weather personally or scoping out the completion. So if I were for example a online marketer and wanted to advertise through your website I could ask you for your website traffic data to see what authority you command on the web or I could just cut through the red tape and get it from Alexa directly by looking at your rank and website data.
I have heard Alexa rating does not matter?
Well most people do say that but stop and think for a minute on the following points:
a. If Alexa is not important it will soon be the driving tool to go to in order to get ranked, look at all the other programs run by Amazon, wouldn't it be smart to get a foothold now?
How well do you Rank? |
b.As was said above when advertisers and visitors go to your site and want to see how well you stack up to other websites, what do yo think they use to measure your performance? they surly don't email you and ask ahh could you Email your website daily traffic report, please and thanks.
c. If this is another option to market your website why wouldn't you want to paint your website in a good light? Well Alexa is just the tool to get your website into the limelight it needs.
So OK with that said I hope you will drop that silly notion that most people across the web have been spreading that Alexia Rank isn't overly important they are probably saying that and getting the jump on you right now.

DeleteNo matter how hard we try, breaking the 300,000 global is not happening. Our USA stats hover between 66,000 - 45,000
ReplyDeleteany ideas would be of great help
Well from what I have learned the higher or rather the lower your Rank gets (Better) the more competitive the ranking system and the harder it gets to increase your score further. What you must realize is that there are Millions of other websites out there competing for the ranking spots, so if you do not keep up will realize that your score will be stuck in a rut.
DeleteTry the following:
-Post Regular and interesting content 3-4 times or more per week.
-Increase your blogs Traffic-Try promotional activities such as giveaways.
Be patent the more your rank increases after a while you will come to realize that things gets slower as you are getting into the top tiers of the ranking system and competition between top websites is tougher.
I guess I'm a little late to join the bandwagon; Oh well. Thanks for the tutorial, I hope it works out for me :>
