Is alexa widgets or using redirection myth? — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 10:40:03 +0000

I got this opinion not to follow alexa widgets or redirections because it’s not much effective. I have already used on my site, so should I continue it or not?? Visit to see http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in alexa traffic ranking of fortunehotels.in

I think we should forget about Alexa ranking and concentrate in SEO which at the end is what drives people to your site. An sites selling links charge you more for the page rank anyways, they don’t even mention alexa rankings. My site http://www.egsmartsys.com has an alexa ranking of 600k+ which supposedly is bad. And I can assure you I am making a living because of customers getting into my site because of a good SEO.

hmmm .. yeah alexa shows just the relation with bloggers , coz they are one’s with alexa toolbar installed. Not the actual audience who visit your blog.

Alexa get importance, because advertisers and ad network pay importance to it. Although everyone know it is not true representation of traffic.

Alexa ranking has been changed recently, that was my observation, but no idea what happened to John Chow.

Seriously should we take this Alexa seriously? My blog statistically looks bad (not in Alexa Top 100k, shameful Technorati rank, PR 4, etc..) but do the readers care about it?

For me, if readers don’t care, then I also don’t care.
