Alexa Rankings Explained

noreply@blogger.com (pagerank) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:05:00 +0000

High Alexa traffic rankings are coveted by webmasters around the world. While data is collected only from Alexa Toolbar users, the toolbar is used by millions of heavy web surfers.

Plugins are available now for the Firefox browser which I use on a new U3 thumbnail drive. I can plug into any Windows computer with a USB port, see the Alexa rankings in my browser, and not have to install or leave anything behind on the borrowed computer.

How are Alexa's traffic rankings determined?

* Traffic rankings based on usage of Alexa Toolbar users only.
* May not be representative of the global Internet population.
* traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated traffic data from millions of Alexa users.
* Combination of reach and pageviews.
* Reach is number of unique Alexa users who visit a site each day.
* Reach is expressed as the percentage of all Internet users who visit a given site.
* Pageviews are the total number of URL requests for a site each day.
* Page views are the average number of unique pages viewed per user per day by the users visiting the site.
* Ranking is determined by a combination of users and pageviews.
* Top level domains only (e.g. playtriton.com).
* No separate ratings for subpages or subdomains.
* Personal home pages are identified with an asterisk (*).
* Sites serving the "same" content are counted together as the same site.
* Sites with low traffic (under 1,000 pageviews per month) will not be accurately ranked by Alexa due to statistical limitations.
* The main traffic rank shown in the Alexa Toolbar is calculated from three months of aggregate traffic data.
* The movers and shakers list is based on changes in average reach on a week to week comparative basis.

Other factors can affect your site's Alexa ranking. Sites on the toolbar itself - like Amazon.com - may be over ranked. Heavy toolbar use in a particular region - like China - can raise Chinese sites to high levels.
The best use of this traffic ranking tool is to see how your site compares to 3 months ago.

Moving up in the Alexa rankings can help you determine if your Internet marketing efforts are bringing unique visitors to your website.

Add Your Site To Three Major Search Engine

Web Search Engine

A web search engine is a tool designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files.

How Do These Search Engine Work:

01. Web Crawling
This process is called Web crawling or spidering. Web crawlers are mainly used to create a copy of all the visited pages for later processing by a search engine that will index the downloaded pages to provide fast searches.

02. Indexing
Search engine indexing collects, parses, and stores data to facilitate fast and accurate information retrieval. Index design incorporates interdisciplinary concepts from linguistics, cognitive psychology, mathematics, informatics, physics and computer science.

03. Searching
A web search query is a query that a user enters into web search engine to satisfy his or her information needs. Web search queries are distinctive in that they are unstructured and often ambiguous; they vary greatly from standard query languages which are governed by strict syntax rules.

Goggle PageRank Checking Tool

noreply@blogger.com (pagerank) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 17:14:00 +0000

PageRank

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm, named after Larry Page, used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references.

Google Describes PageRank

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important".

Notes:
Not all links are counted by Google. For instance, they filter out links from known link farms. Some links can cause a site to be penalized by Google. They rightly figure that webmasters cannot control which sites link to their sites, but they can control which sites they link out to. For this reason, links into a site cannot harm the site, but links from a site can be harmful if they link to penalized sites. So be careful which sites you link to. If a site has PR0, it is usually a penalty, and it would be unwise to link to it.

10 Facts About Search Engines

noreply@blogger.com (pagerank) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 07:23:00 +0000

As you well know, getting a good listing on the search engines can really help get some good, quality traffic to your site.

But how do you get a good listing? That's the million dollar question. Rather than explain how search engines select the top sites or how to trick them into listing your site in the top 10, let's learn some of the facts about search engines.

Now in case you're wondering why I don't just give you the 'magic' formula or algorithm for getting a good search engine placement I'll give you:

Fact Number 1:
Search engines change their formula frequently in an attempt to keep quality sites at the top of the listing. They do this because of all the attempts to 'trick' or 'fool' them and, to stay popular with their users, they need to list the most relevant sites first.

Fact Number 2:
Every search engine has it's own formula for determining the sites and the ordering of the sites it will list. And even though they all use many of the same factors in their formulas, there is no 1 formula that will work for all of them.

As for giving you some of the tricks that others have tried to use to get good search engine placement, I'll just say that the tricks that have worked in the past like using misleading meta tag keywords and embedding hidden keywords don't work today and the new tricks like creating lots of 'spam' sites using automatic search engine page creators won't be working much longer.

Fact Number 3:
Search engine owners know the tricks being used and develop ways to filter them out.
Now that you know that there is no 1 'magic' formula and using a 'trick' won't work for long, you should also know:

Fact Number 4:
Search engines do 'black list' sites they consider 'spam' and block them from being listed.

Because of all the articles and products about Google, you may think that Google has become the search engine of choice. And while Google is gaining in popularity,

Fact Number 5:
Google still hasn't captured Yahoo's number 1position.

Even though Google isn't number 1,

Fact Number 6:
Using 'good advice' on how to improve your Google position will also help you with your placement on Yahoo and many other search engines.

Some of 'good advice' for getting a good position is to have a site with good content and to use your keywords within your content. But the web has become so big that there are now thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of pages competing for the same keywords.

Because of this explosion in the number of pages available for generic keyword searches,

Fact Number 7:
Search engine users are now adding more descriptive terms in their searches.
Another fact that most people don't realize about search engines is that:

Fact Number 8:
Search engines don't rank or list web sites, they rank and list web pages. That means every page of your site has the potential to be listed if you set it up properly.

Since we're getting into the realm of less known search engine facts, let's talk about how

Fact Number 9:
Search engines use their own traffic tracking information to help determine which sites to list. If they see that they have a top site that continually gets visited for a brief amount of time and the searchers usually come back and continue looking, the search engine may determine the site is of little value and either move it down on the list or remove it.

The last fact isn't really about search engines but has been included to help you measure your progress as you work to improve your search engine positions.
A couple of terms you've probably seen many times are 'Google Page Rank (PR)' and 'Alexa Traffic Ranking'. While both measure different things,

Fact Number 10:
Google PR and Alexa Traffic Ranking are 2 of the best indicators on how well your search engine optimization work is going. Improving your Google PR and your Alexa Traffic Ranking can help you get a better search engine position.

10 Easy Steps To A Useable Website

noreply@blogger.com (pagerank) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:04:00 +0000

Building a useable website can seem daunting. Here is a quick guideline to help you on your way.

1.It’s All About Your Content

To get your website listed appropriately the content of your website needs to be nested between the tags. This way it gets read by the search engines. Your content also needs to be unique and get your point across. What is it about your product or service that is better and different from your competitions. This is called your usp or unique selling proposition and should be conveyed clearly and immediately upon hitting the page.

2.Make Effective Use Of Your Title And Description Tags

These are your two most important tags when it comes to referencing your page content. Meta keywords rarely have any impact what so ever on your pages listings.

3.Make Sure Content Is Well Formatted

It is very important to break up your content with italics, bold text, bulleted lists, etc. Well formatted content makes your pages more accessible to visitors but the search engines also. Visitors scan across your page rather than read it so it makes sense to format your page so it can be browsed yet still convey your message.

4.Proper Code

Having proper progamming in place is quite simply a must. Web standards have changed substantially over the years and it is important to make sure your pages validate both html and css. Think of it this way. How effective could you get your point across if you were talking swahili. Your code is no different. Why make it difficult for the search bots to index your content.

5.Do Not Use Front Page, Dreamweaver, or any other WYSIWYG editor.

While accurate, MS Front Page, for example, makes it easy for just about anyone to throw up a web page it doesn’t take W3C compliancy into account. Hence the code it outputs is an absolute train wreck. This is terminal for your website as you need a strong code base (foundation) or your site will never stand up to the competitions.

6.Don’t Design In Flash

Seemingly technical in nature or “neat” perhaps flash animation only serves to distract visitors from what they came to your site for in the first place, your product or service. Your services are what visitors are interested in not a blinking, noisy, website. Flash also creates major problems with getting it properly indexed. There is no way for the search engines to extract content from your website as it is all contained with in the swf. If you absolutely must have a flash page it is imparitive to offer an html version as well.

7.Easy On The Eyes

Graphical elements play a huge role in a website design as well. You need to make sure you don’t have any extreme contrasts between colors and that you don’t use really bright colors as they are quite hard on the eyes. Your logo or brand should be clearly displayed on the home page and in more than one place.

8.Instill A Sense Of Well Being With Ease Of Use

Make sure you have all legal documents in place such as privacy and return policies. It is also important to have all of your contact information pricing etc. displayed in a manner that conveys legitimacy. It should be very easy to contact you for any questions your visitors may have.

9.Include An Opt-in Newsletter

A great way to generate return customers is to offer an opt-in newsletter. This allows for direct marketing to people who you know are already interested in your product or service. What better way is there to keep customers abreast of new products or changes in the services you offer.

10.Use A Trademark Or Tag Line

In our case we trademarked the manipulated at symbol with the phrase bringing e-solutions to you, thereby effectively increasing the strength of our brand. We are now able to effectively convey who we are but give a good creative idea as to what we do.
