| 1322872 | 2013-01-15 01:32:00 | Hi guys You may recall that I was wondering how long it would take me to get an Alexa ranking for my Proud to be Kiwi website. I was not sure if it automatic after your site has been up for 3 months (as Alexa work on a 3 months rolling average) Or I was not sure that if my site did not get enough hits I would never get on it. No one seems to know But yesterday I got my first ranking of 23,000,000 and today it has jumped to 11,037,153. So I am rapt. The interesting thing is that, that my world wide ranking but I don't have a New Zealand ranking yet ! Even though most of my hits are from NZ. Maybe not so many kiwis have the Alexa toolbar. The other interesting thing is that my site is being looked at by 0.000006% of the world's internet users! I see quite a few NZ companies without an Alexa ranking. I also added their registration code for my site in my meta tag area the other day, so that may have helped. |

| 1322876 | 2013-01-15 02:23:00 | What makes you say that Alexa is spyware. In the early days I think it may have been. Now it just records your visits Why would you be worried about Alexa? |

| 1322878 | 2013-01-15 02:59:00 | Yeah nah in my book that's spyware Digby. :p I never said I was worried about it. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1322879 | 2013-01-15 04:08:00 | I think you answered your own question. It spies on your browsing activity, records it, and sends it back to them without (in most cases) the users knowledge. When people install the Alex Toolbar they KNOW that Alexa is going to record their activity so its not without their knowledge. |

| 1322881 | 2013-01-15 05:21:00 | I use SEO status toolbar - 7 of my niche sites and blogs have AR of 4, 000 to 7, 000. Compare with NZ Hearld and Trademe have 3000 and 1600. New York Times has 115, Google Search 754. I'm trialing doing nothing to some of my web properties for over 6 months - yet still get unigue and increased visitors and click through conversions, i.e. money. No appreciable increase in AR, Google PR and mozRank. So what's the ideal Alexa Rank? Low as? What's the threshold - the coveted AR number that would appeal, e.g. to advertising networks? Marketers used to obsess about Google's increased Page Rank and other numerical ranks. We were told not to by Big G. Is it not possible to get Alexa skewed data (www.mattcutts.com) (commentary from Google's top spam/search engineer) from those that can manipulate Alexa? |
