Introduction to Alexa.

Alexa is know as "Traffic Measure" to almost all newbie blogger.But indeed Alexa is a web information Company started by Amazon inc  founded and running live since 1996.Alexa is currently the best choice of almost all the webmasters for estimating the traffic of there site and it ranks almost 30 million websites in the world.Alexa do provide an estimate of your traffic and it combine data's that included the source if the traffic,the geographic area of the traffic,the global spread of the visits ,keywords that were you to discover you sites etc.Also they provide in depth services to those who are the premium subscribers of Alexa.

What Alexa actually is? 

All that stated above is the clear description of Alexa.  But there are a lot of widespread rumors in the field of blogging about Alexa.We will discuss the most unknown facts about Alexa below

Alexa Rank is just an estimate !

Alexa can never provide you the exact statistical data about your traffic.Alexa is just a rough estimate of your global traffic.This is mainly because Alexa don't have individual crawlers for each websites like Google analytics does.Alexa traffic crawlers doesn't take in account of visits that last for few seconds and does take into account of artificial traffic created by traffic bots and software's.This makes the Alexa Rank Just an estimate of the actual traffic that your site makes.

Installing Alexa Toolbar Doesn't Increase your Alexa

I have heard lot of people suggesting that installing Alexa toolbar will help you increase you Alexa rank.It is just a dozens of stupidity.Alexa completely works on generation of traffic and it has got nothing to do with toolbars .If you have ever fallen into the words of such idiotic craziness,then it is high time that you "Double think".

Writing A review About Alexa is not gong to Help.

And this is another crazy suggestion that i have got from one of my fellow newbie blogger.He said "Just write a  review about Alexa on your Blog and they will surely increase you Alexa rank".:(.At first i got a feeling that he had a point.Who wouldn't  love someone promoting  him for free??But indeed this was an insane suggestion.Alexa is a organization providing free services like Google does and they make the best of efforts they could to make the ranking as accurate as possible.Hence any individual favor will surely affect the ranking system and Alexa would hate to take a risk with their ever trusted traffic rank.

Why you should never bother too much about Alexa..?

Alexa  is just another estimate of your traffic behind the screens.As a blogger you must first focus on delivering quality content.When your content is unique ,there would be people to read your posts.They will be glad to like it and share if they find that the post helped them.And hen the readers list increases ,the traffic to increase .And this is the base to Blogging success.And when you have a lively traffic,the Alexa rank will follow you.So never worry about Alexa.It is just a measure.You do posses far better potential than What Alexa limits it to..
