Alexa hype

[redex]

What is all the hype about Alexa Rank? Isn't that predicated on people that have the Alexa toolbar installed and not the general surfing populace.


I do have one site with a rannk of 50,654 but I wouldn't have a clue what to do with that information. Anyone out there that can enlighten me?<DWE@GG.AB></DWE@GG.AB><UXI></UXI><GIS@5R></GIS@5R><LK6J></LK6J><EMAIL:></EMAIL:><TRAFFIC></TRAFFIC><TI></TI><TQY></TQY><ZQ 3624></ZQ 3624>

Personally I don't care what my rank is for my sites with Alexa. I do like to check and see if they increase though.


I do use Alexa as a tool for checking out up and coming PPC SE's. First I check their rank. If it's 20,000 or above, they're getting traffic. Then I check the PPC's reviews. If they have a lot of negative reviews from advertisers I'll forget them for a while.


Check out ah-ha.com's reviews smileys/smiley2.gif


Also, you can use the "People who visit this page also visit" info to find other viable advertising sites.

Just checked my best Alexia rank is 45,101. All that having a
high alexia rank means is you get more unwanted emails for people
asking if you want to run their popups for $1 CPM or promote their crap
CPA programs.

Three month average: 21,685


One week average: 17,672


Today: 12,915


The numbers don'tmean a whole lot, but I'm happy to see ours going in the right direction.


Alexa can be useful though. Say you were bidding on a site offered for sale on ebay, or wanted an idea if the person wanting to trade links was blowing smoke or really did get a lot of traffic. You might also use itas a final check before registering a recently expired domain.Residual traffic is a nice bonus on a new domain. smileys/smiley1.gif


The way back machine can be fun too.


Hey Smokey, I can offer you some very nice low base prices to go with that lovely domain... smileys/smiley2.gif
