What Is Alexa Internet Traffic Rank?
Alexa is short for the company name Alexa Internet,  Inc., founded in 1996 and bought by Amazon in 1999. Alexa traffic rank is the rank position of a website traffic measure compared with other websites around the world.  The website traffic data is mainly from a panel of “millions of Internet users using one of over 25,000 different browser extensions.” e.g. Now Google.com  Alexa rank is #2  while Facebook.com is #1, which means Facebook.com has “ the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews” ( according to http://www.alexa.com/help/traffic-learn-more ). Google’s other domains got other traffic data and may rank differently.  For example, Google.ca ranks 66 globally and #1 in Canada, which means according to Alexa’s panel data, Canadian.
What is the worst Alexa rank for a website? Â Â “No Data” or just some rank number over 10 million. For example, a brand new domain which only get a little data into Alexa’s panel, can rank #18,751,177. Â It is possible that some domains of a few years old get “No Data” because the traffic is really low and no data ever got into Alexa’s monitored panel. One can be pretty sure they have pretty good traffic if the website Alexa rank is less than 100,000 (and the Google Adsense income can be pretty handsome.) Â Meanwhile lots of website owners have very good business leads from their websites even their Alexa ranking is about 1,000,000 to 3,000,000.
Should You Care About Alexa Ranking?
The answer is a Yes, for some owners who want to sell their banner ads to some businesses unless they have good real traffic reports from Google Analytics or other authoritative 3rd party traffic analytic companies. Outsiders have no ways to learn about your real traffic data. Alexa rank is the only available 3rd party reference around the world. Â Compete.com only measures US not international users and will not show report on your site if they consider your rank is “too low” unless you pay for the Pro membership. Although sometimes Alexa traffic rank is questionable, it is the only way to estimate the website traffic quickly as an outsider. So it is important for website owners trying to market their web page space for banner ads.
It is impossible to fake #1 or #3  traffic rank on Alexa.com, but it is possible to use massive spamming or other ways to bring sudden traffic to your site to improve the ranking for a short time. (It means after the efforts stop, the ranking will sure slide down dramatically )  The traffic may not do any good for your online business if you don’t sell banner ads or what  you care is real conversion from leads to real sales of your service and products. Pretty often those “black-hat” ways may get your website blacklisted by some major search engines.

It is very easy to know the current Alexa rank of a website if you install some Firefox Add-on or Chrome extensions. Â My favorites are:
Firefox Add-ons
I installed Sparky because the official one from Alexa and it can help you to improve your Alexa rank for sure. I like the other one because I also care about Page Rank, which is an important number for Google search engine optimization, which I will talk about in a later article.
After you install the add-ons for Firefox, you need to restart the Firefox browser and activate it. Then when you can see the Alexa Rank when visiting the website of the domain you care about.

Top 3 & Top 10 Ranking Positions
Did you see a lots of ads or some websites saying they promise you to put you in the Top 3 & Top 10 Ranking Positions for your website for $99 up to $999?
How can you tell if what they say is a lie? Here’s how I see it.
- Check out their own rankings in Alexa and Google PR (page rank). If their own ranking is low, how can you trust them to help your website to rank higher? (Of course, one reason for their current low ranking could be that their website is too new. Then how reliable is a brand new website? At least main search engines like Google do not trust.
- Check out what they have promise you. Top 3 or Top 10 ranking? For what keywords. Usually they may not mention any keywords that is important for your business. We can help your website to rank #1 in Google for just $10, but that could be useless. For example, our website BayWM.com can rank #1 in Google (click to see it now), but that doesn’t mean anything to us because who would type in BayWM.com to search if they don’t know this name?
- If you see their site because you click one of their Google ads or ads on other search engines, then why they need to pay higher to advertise them if they can get higher ranking for business websites. They could have done that for themselves rather than do it for your website first.
- SEO (search engine optimization ) is continuous hard work that takes time and efforts.
What would be the good keywords for your business website then? Take our own website for example, one of good keywords could be “Bay Area SEO Web design”
We will cover more of this later in our SEO articles.
Google Panda 3.4
Google Panda 1.0, a major change in Google’s search results ranking algorithm, was released in Feb., 2011, a little more than a year ago.
Big sites such as J.C. Penny were hit by Panda! It is a “Kungfu Panda” who may hit big guys. From Wikipedia, we learned “that Google’s new Panda machine-learning algorithm, made possible by and named after engineer Navneet Panda”. With this major change, “many new ranking factors have been introduced to the Google algorithm” and some older ranking factors such as PageRank have been downgraded in importance.
Now Google Panda 3.4, their latest update, was rolling out around 11pm PDT on March 23 in Hawaii and then globally. No official news was released except for a post on Twitter that night.
What Significant difference did Panda make? The new algorithm impacts an entire site’s ranking or specific section rather than just the individual pages on a site. And they said “Panda seems to focus on the web page date.”
In 2012, it looks like Google Panda may be updated every month:
Google Panda v3.2 :Â 1/14/2012
Google Panda v3.3:Â 2/29/2012
Organic Search Result Listing
When we do a search on Google.com or Bing.com, we usually get two types of listings: The paid listing and free listing ( which we usually also call organic or natural listing). Google Adwords and Bing Adcenter ads are paid listing and usually found on the top or the right side of the result pages.
The search engines use different ways to determine the web page relevancy, and show the most relevant pages to the query on the top on the result page. According to Google, they use PageRank along with other factors (over 200 of them) to determine the page relevancy to the user’s query.
Website developers may use SEO or search engine optimization techniques to improve their content pages, internal and incoming links to get higher PageRank so their web pages can get listed higher in the search result pages or SERPs (search engine result pages), thus get more traffic from the better organic search result listing.
Unless you have learn SEO, you still need to pay for SEO services to do the job. So organic search is NOT free in a sense, but when you find a real SEO expert who can do proper SEO for your website, it may be more cost effective than using Adwords or other paid listing ads.
When we talk about SEM or search engine marketing, we usually need to cover SEO for organic search and paid online advertising.
