Alexa rank worth for idiot SEO experts.
Alexa Ranking is the most buzzword among new webmasters, domain owners and cheap SEO masters and for those who really mean to fool their customers / clients / novice students who are interested in learning SEO. I am sorry if this article would hurt your believe or sentiment or SEO masters personal ego, but what is truth will always truth.
Alexa Rank is often used to fool others.
First of all I would like to vote those webmasters and SEO experts who constantly advocate the fact that Alexa ranking has nothing to do with SEO. (Learn more about what are Alexa rank gnd Google page rank). All SEO expets know that Alexa never considers the actual unique data for ranking any website. Anyone can manipulate alexa ranking with little effort. I personally believe that if something can be manipulated easily, it can’t be a parameter set for success.
Alexa rank has nothing to do with SEO.
Alexa rank is only a measure of popularity of your site. But it is completely im-perfect in counting global online visitors. It is only biased to calculate the visitors from the browsers that have any of alexa product/ tools installed. Thus what you are getting a completely wrong perception about any website.
SEO is completely different thing and has nothing to do with Alexa ranking.Because SEO is about inducing quality, relevancy and getting at the top of all search result in any search engine resulting pages and getting the most awaited Google Page rank reward from Google itself.
So, when you are doing SEO, it is only Google page rank and your position in search engine resulting pages for certain keywords that measures your success of SEO and not Alexa rank. The most attractive thing that I like about Google page rank is that it is being measured by the number of quality links from other websites that point to your websites voting for your website as being trust-worthy and relevant.
Whereas Alexa ranking can be self manipulated in several ways that I am going to discuss in the last section of this article. So, its obvious that anything that can be self-manipulated by anyone can never be trust worthy parameter for SEO
Why everyone is running after Alexa ranking? The Alexa ranking myth.
Not everyone is running after Alexa ranking. I am not saying that Alexa is completely wrong. But it is mere a measure of your site’s popularity only among Alexa users. This is even not sure whether that Alexa ranking is being achieved by self manipulation of real measure of popularity among Alexa users.
It is quite obvious that a website with millions of visitor’s who are not using Alexa product will rank less in compare to a site with only few hundreds of visitors, most of whom are using Alexa product. So, whats you think about this type of result.
A genuine SEO expert never runs after alexa ranking. Some webmasters and advertisers use to fool their clients by showing their high alexa ranking, mostly manipulated and use to claim their site to be very popular and ranking well to get sponsors for the website. The sponsors fall easy trap in such ranking results as 90% of people hardly knows how easy it is to manipulate this ranking to make easy money.
Disclaimer: I never advocate the below mention manipulation ways of increasing Alexa ranking, so I have not illustrated any point in this post but it worth memtioning here to show you the ways that alexa ranking is easily manipulated. But those who are really interested in it, they don’t have to get frustrated as i am going to illustrate it in some other post.

There are lots of other ways most of which only gaurantees the increase of alexa ranking but has nothing to do with SEO nor indicates about the quality of your website. So, trying for increasing Alexa ranking is not a sin but if you are talking about SEO then don’t proof yourself as idiot SEO expert by talking to others about alexa rank in comparison to Google page rank.
