I agree. Alexa is extremely easy to manipulate yet its the only tool available to measure such things as the traffic a website gets. Thanks for the comment man.

I don’t really like Alexa. It’s too easily to manipulate.

Seriously to get into Alexa 100k is quite simple, although I haven got into the first 100k but I’m nearly there since I do not post often.

Of course I’m not saying I’m good but there is always a way or two to get to where you want, I’m not sure much about SEO or keywords stuff, to me if your content is good and unique and placing on article directories seems to push Alexa ranking faster then normal.

Alexa is an important tool and can be extremely useful. Especially for what I have talked about here, i.e. analyzing websites or particularly keywords.
If you want to have a higher Alexa rank then simply install the Alexa toolbar

Thank you for the information, Seth. I am sure it is very useful to my readers. I will definitely take a look at it.

Personally I need to use Alexa more myself. I hardly ever check out my site on it and I know it’s not actually even recognised by it. I do find this helpful when searching for blogs though.

I guess I have more work to do if I want to end up showing up on Alexa eh?

Hey Julius – nice post. I’m the product manager for Ad Planner at Google. I wanted to give you and your readers a few more details on DoubleClick Ad Planner that may be useful. First off, as a blog (or site) owner you can claim your site in Ad Planner’s publisher center (http://www.google.com/adplanner/publisher). You can also choose to opt in your directly measured traffic (via Google Analytics) and show that number instead Ad Planner’s estimate. Also, we’ve got new data in a section called Audience Interests that gives you a higher level view of the interests of your site’s viewers. Hope this is helpful!
