How important Alexa Ranking?

At the outset, ALEXA is a very powerful tool used to rank web sites traffic. Alexa’s traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users over a rolling 3 month period. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1.

Alexa’s traffic rankings are for top level domains only (e.g. domain.com). We do not provide separate rankings for subpages within a domain (e.g. www.domain.com/subpage.html) or subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) unless we are able to automatically identify them as personal home pages or blogs, like those hosted on Geocities and Tripod. If a site is identified as a personal home page or blog, its traffic ranking will have an asterisk (*) next to it: Personal Page Avg. Traffic Rank: 3,456*. Personal pages are ranked on the same scale as a regular domain, so a personal page ranked 3,456* is the 3,456th most popular page among Alexa users.

Eventually, some might ask how important Alexa Ranking is? and some might be asking why do we need to have an Alexa Rank for our website? To answer the question, in my own point of view, Alexa Ranking is important for all the webs that has been published already simply because it is one of the basis if the site is effective, useful and is the author of it really provide a quality articles which suits on the needs of every readers. Aside from that, Alexa Rank is crucial for every web site to the extent that this will provide a higher opportunity to the specific sites.

On the other hand, if you got your own site we do need to have an Alexa Rank simply because it enables us to accept more opportunities and offers from the advertisers all over the web.

TIPS TO LOWER DOWN YOUR ALEXA RANK:

* Register your site with Alexa.

* Put the badge on your site for you to monitor of your score is going down. ( Going down because Alexa Ranking starts from a higher number to the lower one )

* Keep tracking back your links to other sites.

* Accept exchange links to other site to be able to be access by some other sites around the web.

* Keep leaving a message with your site URI for them to get to your site too.

* Keep updated on your site so that your readers will came back again.

Those were just some of the useful tips that I usually do which I think might be helpful for you too. Let break a leg guys!…c”,)
