Is Alexa Rank valuable?
I was listening to DSQ 19 (https://soundcloud.com/dumbseoquestions/dumb-seo-questions-19) and there was a question about Alexa Rank. We get these questions a lot and this article is all you need to know about Alexa Rank.
- " Its toolbar collects data on browsing behavior and transmits it to the Alexa website, where it is stored and analyzed, forming the basis for the company’s web traffic reporting. "
- " Alexa toolbar collects the information about the site bounce rate, reach, daily pageviews per visitor, daily time on site, audience demographics and geography, search traffic, site linking, and speed, etc. "
- " Alexa ranks the blogs and sites based primarily on tracking a sample set of internet traffic, which are the users of its toolbar for the Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome web browsers "
So, even if your traffic is good, you might have a very low Alexa rank because those surfing your blog or site don’t have the Alexa toolbar installed.
Furthermore Alexa Rank does not track mobile traffic because the toolbar isn`t compatible with mobile browsers (as far as I know).
" Alexa-rank-rising traffic comes from bloggers, webmasters, advertising and Internet marketing professionals. " Therefore to rise your Alexa Rank target them on communities, forums and social media.?
