No the article is not about a new 2,0 version of the well-known service alexa but its future. The improvement in their algorithms makes them actually one of the most competitive services at the moment since i believe it will soon “beat” google’s pagerank.
Alexa has been an alternative to google’s pagerank for years now. Their concept was better though, calculating traffic to show which is the TOP site and not backlinks. Unfortunately, all these years their traffic stats were dependent to the alexa toolbar and even though they had a better concept, they never managed to overcome google’s domination in the area.
That was till now. They claim that their new improved algorithms are calculating traffic in a lot more ways apart from alexa toolbar users and that they will calculate a lot more more website visitors to display actual and more accurate traffic results and rankings.
Could this be the end of google’s pagerank? Google unfortunately seems to have abandoned the google pagerank(they update it rarely…) whereas alexa promises even more often updates!
I, honestly, believe that the only way for google pagerank to “fight” the new alexa ranks is to implement alexa’s concept and apart of backlinks calculate traffic too before it gives out a pagerank number.
Yes, i know, time will show us…

Yes, I agree with you Athanaion. I agree that google will soon be beat, and I hope so as well. Especially when google is boring.
Well Good Luck to Alexa! ;D
I think that the change of their algorithms was the right move, and their step to brighter future…
I agree with Athanasios, the Alexa ranking system indeed is pretty good (it can possibly beat Google someday) but the biggest downside of it, is it used to depend too much on the toolbars. In my country, almost all forums discourage members from installing their toolbar, they say that it cointains adware and of course, these people only trust Google Pagerank.
The way Alexa is going is pretty good, the future seems bright to them, but Google has been controlling this aspect for far a long time so I believe that even if Alexa does win, the result can turn 180 degree anytime
I heared the announcement that alexa has changed its ranking algorithm. I am little happy with this change because my website got little improvment. see new alexa ranking for http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Fortune Park Hotels Ltd.
