It’s been a long time(about 1 week) since we published another article but here we are now! We had some issues and couldn’t unfortunately write an article for some time.
However, we are here to inform you about the new alexa update which actually took a long time(that was somewhat unexpected) but as analytics say it’s much more precise and realistic!
As you might remember, we had informed you about the update in alexa’s algorythms which gave a hope to have a good google pagerank alternative.
With the recent alexa update we saw some good results, but the best thing is the graph addition.
If you remember alexa in the past(1 month ago actually) there was a traffic graph only for websites that were ranking under 100,000, though now it’s changed!
Even a website of 500,000 rank can check it’s rank in that graph and compare it with other websites!
Perhaps, it’s time to change the bad(?) habit of calculating the value of a website with google’s pagerank only..this year…is alexa’s turn to change the facts!
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…
