I hear people talking about alexa ratings and yahoo ratings and i'm wondering if anyone has any idea how to improve a site's alexa and yahoo ratings.....

I dunno

I'm only Ranked Top 11,000 in the World out a BILLION domains so Good Luck

I know the searches must be preformed from their Tool Bar as NO other Traffic Counts with them

thats unfair....

I think So tooo But oh well it's their Site & they make the Rules

Buy traffic from my site for very low prices Most of my users have alexa installed

sounds like SPAM there

They have an Advertising Folder for your uncalled for SPAMMING of this forum !!!


Also what good is it you have a Very LOW rating of
Traffic Rank for excessivehits.com: 49,146

now on the Other hand


Avg. Review:
Traffic Rank for jays-paidmail.com: 11,312

really I am pretty sure its just the traffic which goes to your site from people who has the alexa bar, that would make more sense, becasue how many people search for yahoo. [SQL]

Not bad, I get 20k unique hits per day, so thats not bad either.

I only know one thing, use your own IP for your site
I had ever ranked top 5 on yahoo if somene search vig rx (an affiliate program) and yield me hundreds dollars for one month but now my rank is going down and down, don't know why such thing can happened. Why me God? Why?

wth?

this doesnt make sense...be a little less dramatic and maybe we'll understand what youre saying

does anyone know of any traffic exchanges that have an alexa of less than 10,000?If you do,i'll sign up under you....

On Yahoo you are being ranked based on how many websites are linking to you, depending on the relevancy to the keyword and category and on meta tags. Search engines like Yahoo use complicated formulas to determine this process so I'm sure there are other smaller principles that will affect your rank.

On Alexa, on the other hand, websites are being ranked based on unique traffic. The more unique weekly traffic the lower the rank, obviously.

thx..

so

does anyone know of any traffic exchanges that have an alexa of less than 10,000?If you do,i'll sign up under you....

Im not there, but hopefully with all of the advertising im about to do it will go up ":)

excessivehits,i'm sure youre a nice person and stuff, but please dont spam this thread,directly or indirectly..if u want to advertise your stuff,head to the advertising folder and do your thing there and when your site gets to below 10,000 please post it here...until then..

How are Alexa's traffic rankings determined?
Traffic and Site Stats

As of May 15, 2002 Alexa has started using a new method for determining a site's traffic ranking.

Alexa's traffic rankings are based on the usage patterns of Alexa Toolbar users over a rolling 3 month period. A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of reach and pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single pageview. The site with the highest combination of users and pageviews is ranked #1.

Alexa's traffic rankings are for top level domains only (e.g. domain.com). We do not provide seperate rankings for subpages within a domain (e.g. www.domain.com/subpage.html) or subdomains (e.g. subdomain.domain.com) unless we are able to automatically identify them as personal home pages, like those hosted on Geocities and Tripod. If a site is identified as a personal home page, its traffic ranking will have an asterisk (*) next to it: Personal Page Avg. Traffic Rank: 3,456*. Personal pages are ranked on the same scale as a regular domain, so a personal page ranked 3,456* is the 3,456th most popular page among Alexa users.

How can I see the history of a site's traffic ranking?
Traffic and Site Stats

To view historical traffic graphs, go to the overview page for a site and click on the Trends link located in the left sidebar. You can view the past 3, 6, or 12 months of traffic rankings by clicking the links above the graph (6 months is the default). Traffic graphs are only available for sites ranked higher than 200,000.

thx..now how do you improve your alexa rating?

unique alexa visitors and the number of page views they look at.

with over 10 million visitors it should be pretty easy to have an alexa user.
they are with all of the major search engines.

here is more info from alexa:

Finding Patterns in Data

The Alexa service is derived from the data we collect. We use a number of techniques to find information about web sites to create our Site Data and Related Links features.

Site Stats

As an Alexa user navigates to a web site or web page, the Alexa service retrieves data about the page the user is requesting. We gather information from a number of sources, then organize it to be presented by the Alexa Service, helping the user to be better informed about the site he/she is viewing.

The service lists who registered the domain name and when they registered it, giving our users an idea of who is behind the site they are viewing. By analyzing the data we receive from our updated snapshots of the Web, we can tell our users how their traffic ranks in comparison to other web sites and how many other sites link to that site. We can also derive a popularity rating from our user base and share that rating with our community of users.

Our goal for the "Site Stats" feature of Alexa is to help our users navigate the Web more efficiently by giving them all the information they need to make informed decisions about the sites they visit.

Related Links

Whenever an Alexa user visits a web page, the Alexa service retrieves information from the Alexa servers to suggest other pages that might be of interest to the user. To find Related Links, we use several techniques, including:

The usage paths of the collective Alexa community- this is the most important source of our information, since these paths show us which web sites our users believe are important and interesting.
Clustering - the hundreds of millions of links on the Web can be used to find clusters of sites that are similar and relevant to one another. We mine this data by using custom databases to find and identify these clusters.
Users' suggestions - we consider our users' suggestions to augment our Related Links recommendations.
The Alexa Toolbar

The Alexa toolbar is a program written by Alexa Internet that users install into the browser. Every time the user changes pages, the Alexa client program communicates with Alexa servers to retrieve information which is displayed in the toolbar.

whoa...thanks alot..

My site have a avarage on rank 15.000

autovisiting will go under 10 000 after those 3 months

Yahoo now uses Goolgle for rankings, and so, link popularity is one of the most important features for getting good rankings.

I recently posted here with a Web Ring idea (group of people exchanging links between them for better yahoo rankings) but i got no response (dont understand why).

Anyhow, if you want to link me, visit the site in my signature and PM me.Next Monday my site will have a new section, so, wait for then to think about the link exchange.

Although they say that's the way they rank websites that isn't entirely true...
If a website haven't seen the sight of even one Alexa toolbar user it will still get ranked depending on its traffic -it doesn't take 3 months to get your first ranking but only a matter of week or 2.

guys i am trying really hard to stay calm here BUT for the love of G-O-D do NOT spam this thread directly or otherwise...

If you want to advertise your stuff,go to the advertising folder...only post here if you have any information that will help raise my alexa.thanks

btw,dutchtraffic,your alexa is 20,305
