I wish I had balls enough to do that knowing what I know about my own traffic. Or maybe I should sell my secret to Alexa rank, although I am not sure what it would be. If I am gaming the system it's by accident. I do a lot of things to promote this blog and I am not quite sure what causes my rank to keep climbing. Some people base their ad rates on it.

They have Yahoo as the top site on the planet? really?? haha. That's just ridiculous. I don't even pay attention to what Alexa does because it's just not worth looking at. I think it's just for newbie SEOs. Yea, the Alexa ranking is really useless anyway. They have Yahoo as the top site on the planet? really?? haha. That’s just ridiculous.

The only good one I see is maybe adding Quantcast. There is not really any good outside measurement system out there, but I use them to my advantage when I must.

About a month ago I was doing a webinar with live presentation for my customers and readers and I was able to show them that Alexa somehow managed to rank my blog higher than problogger.net. Now, I'm quite flattered but I know better - he probably gets more traffic in a day than I do in a month and seeing that ranking made me laugh and I actually have it on video :-) Stephan,

The Alexa number is supposed to indicate traffic rank. But I also have Google Analytics on all the sites. I know the true traffic rank from that. Alexa is not even close to guessing right.

If it didn't meet our hope, then we will say they are the worst one. Very human I think :) Well, the whole thing about ranking is always confusing, and for those who gets the better ranking, they will said to have get the rank from accurate source and say thanks/blogging about it.

The Analytics were one month, but since I run the analytics on all these sites, I can tell you that that the numbers were not that much different for the other two months. Alexa doesn't have a clue.

Alexa doesn’t have a clue.
