What Is Alexa Ranking?

Alexa Rank
Good afternoon everyone!
While checking how many people had linked back to this blog today I decided it was probably about time I checked my Alexa rating – which is currently sitting at 1,776,509 – now this isn’t great by any means, the goal of anyone who is focused on their Alexa ranking is to get it at least below 300,000 – but it still isn’t too bad for a small blog about how to make money online.
I realized that a lot of people don’t actually know what an Alexa rating is, so I thought I’d offer a brief description here.
Firstly, the lower your ranking the better – Google currently has an Alexa rank of 1, while Yahoo has a rating of 2.
The fact that this blog is rated 1,776,509 means that it is in the top 5.712% of websites currently on the internet in terms of traffic.
Overall however an Alexa rating, like a page rank, is not the be all and end all – but if you want to get a feel for how your website is going traffic wise you should check it out, or visit websitegrader.com – it gives you an SEO report of your website, plus it will tell you your Alexa ranking, both as a number and as a percentage.
This post was really just to help try and clear things up for those of you still in the dark, and I hope I did it.
Until next time, keep making money online!
