Alexa

Recently, Alexa changed the way it computes the ranking of different website. Alexa decided to use more sources of information for their ranking.

As a result, the Alexa Traffic Rank is no longer skwed to technology related blogs/sites.

I do think that this may have caused my ranking to fall but overall, I'd say that Alexa's move was good and strategic. Read my posts about it here: www.bloggingmix.com/2008/04/17/alexa-ranking-overhauled/

What are your thoughts on the changes? Was your rank affected? Did it went down or up?

It would be nice to hear from you.

  1. I think that the changes results in a better service from Alexa to the internet users, but i cannot compare my ranks because it dropped to the dark and cold deepenings of 9,211,612 since it was closed by Wordpress (for have several ads. Bad Chato!)
  2. I got affected by it, but it's not a big deal to me. I just think it's funny that Alexa can get even worse than before lol! www.datmoney.com/2008/04/alexa-ranking-changes-still-inaccurate-if-you-ask-...
  3. Mine went up, so it's bad...
    But if it's more accurate, then I'll leave it at that.

    I recently posted some thoughts on reasons to consider Alexa even if there's no update.
