About UsAnd I love it! Alexa recently updated their rankings algorithm and now they finally updated the statistics again. Before this algorithm update alexa was only accurate to websites that had a tech savvy audience, people with the alexa toolbar installed. But now it is getting info out of more sources, which makes the rankings more accurate and more trustful!
Check out this image from Alexa explaining it in an image:
Personally I like Alexa way more than pagerank! But in the end it comes all down to traffic. With this new alexa algorithm you won’t find a site with a good alexa and low traffic (at least, that’s what I hope, otherwise the algorithm change was not that useful). Give me your shouts about this!

Nomar, I’m very disappointed with you, I can’t believe you didn’t let me know you’re still around the blogosphere, I knew you didn’t leave for good after selling King Nomar Dot Com, but couldn’t find you anywhere..
Anyway, to the topic – I don’t think anyone of us should be too happy about Alexa getting too important, it’s one of these irrelevant tools that somehow got popoular because it allows direct comparison between two sites. It is heavily affected by the use of their toolbar, which makes it not so fair either..
Cheers,
Allen
hehe Allen, Sorry for not letting you know instantly
but yes, I am back!
How do you get Alexia to rank your blog? Do I have to have a domain for it? If I go there and put in my blog http://resourcesforauthors.blogspot.com/ then my stats come back saying blogger.com as its ratings. I don’t want to display blogger.com stats, I want to display my stats. It may be that you have to have an actual domain. Most people I ask have their own domain, so they can’t answer that question for me.
