How many sites go by Alexa ratings for sales?

I can't believe it bu alaxabooster.com went live Nov. 1st and today 43 days later their alexa rating is 10,000. The sitesnot even done yet and it's kicking ass. Please help and let me know if this legal.



If it is then I would get it if I we're you. I see Matt Drudge and the head writer of newsweek use it as a ref. any time they talk about a sites traffic.

Most people say that Alexa is not very reliable but others think it is. I would like to know what people here think too.

Alexa is basically like a poll, it provides you a little insight but if you use it as your sole determining factor like George Bush then you're a dumbass.

Alexa is very biased. I'd take it with a block of salt.

Alexa is not reliable at all. It was never reliable. Some years ago (probably not anymore) Alexa was the primary traffic indication between news portal in Europe. All big advertisers was getting who have the largest regional alexa rankings and they were purchasing their banner spots.

One period in Greece, a dating site that was getting decent traffic appeared not in top 50 positions like always, but in the top5 which was almost impossible since it was directly competing the news portals that were spending millions for TV adv. time, radio etc
The owner of the site was contacted by tech magazines and he said he had found a way to prove that Alexa is not reliable. His web property didn't have any traffic increase, but yes it was apperaing in the top5 traffic sites. The next months more than few smaller sites followed his path and were started getting too high rankings. I think Alexa found a way to stop it and probably new methods are around.

Can you make use of Alexa cheating today in order to boost your adv. income? Well still many co. pay attention to their rankings. So, the answer is yes, you can find advertisers willing to spend money based on alexa results.

If you noticed this week Amazon.com is putting a little effort in Alexa and made some changes.

1) Reviews for sites are now directed to your own home page at Amazon where it links all your interest and reviews. It's reall cool if you have non-adult biz. No more reviews are being taken.

2) amazon.com now lets you put the traffic charts of your site and any others. and you can our charts up of your competitors site to show visitors and advertisers where you stand.


I know people put up charts on their site for years. It wasn't till this week that Amazon.com gave it's blessing and urge people to do so. Amazon.com is up to a few things. I know they are going to put some money into it and try to make a marketing machine for amazon. stay tuned

Just so you know, signups for rewards are probably against their TOS.

***** I think you should email senior writer from NewsWeek a letter. You've heard of news week right?

http://msnbc.msn.com/Default.aspx?id=3403520&p1=0

Every story he writes uses Alexa for stats Reference.

**** And I'm sure you know Matt Drudge, his ad people make him $4,000 a day on 1 ad and they use alexa rating as one of their key selling points.

www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/business/6652451.htm?template=contentModules/ printstory.jsp

ADVERTISING PAYS

As a business, The Drudge Report's revenues are derived solely from advertising, which is sold by Intermarkets, an Oakton, Va. agency that also sells Internet ads for The Chicago Sun-Times, The Village Voice, NewsMax, Human Events and others on its website.

According to the rates posted on www.intermarkets.net, advertisers are charged $3 per thousand impressions for banner ads, or $4,400 a day (discounted to $29,000 a week). The banner ads are rotated, so visitors may see one for AT&T Wireless, The New York Times or another client each time they visit the site.

On a typical day in August, Drudge's site had nearly 6.5 million visitors, and it had 163 million in the preceding 31 days. The Internet traffic site Alexa.com ranked Drudgereport.com 215th in current Web traffic.

After Intermarkets takes its commission, the ad revenue is almost pure profit for Drudge, who says he shares a percentage of his profits with Breitbart. The overhead is minimal: $4,000 a month for Web-server costs plus about $20 a month for Internet service.

And that's about it, according to Drudge, since he works from his home.




What was that? I couldn't hear what you were saying.

this is the lamest thing I have ever seen. Who bases traffic on Alexa anyways? Sure it's a good way to gauge your traffic in a way to see who visits your site that also visits other sites. BUT it only counts surfers who have the alexa toolbar! Only a small fraction of worldwide surfers use alexa's toolbar. I got sick of it msyelf and uninstalled it. Gotta love it when it gives you 'page cannot be found' on every page you visit when their servers are under a heavy loads.

This alexa booster is just going to make shit more difficult than it has to be and you'll draw some negative attention to us all due to it. Way to go shit stain.

So you're saying hitbot your own site to inflate your alexa stats, then charge for advertising based on a phony alexa rank?

That'll go over great when people realize they're not making shit off your traffic.

I also tookthe affiliate code off. It's a direct link now. I talked to a few people and decided I'll pass on the being a affiliate. I wanted to bring this alexa booster out for the last four days. I've been wondering if it's good or bad. I believe google fucked a lot of business,with a lot of good honest people. Do I like google? No. Do I like Alexa, not really. If I had to choose one in giving me the stats I need and everyone else needs to run a business,I would pick alexa. Until there is an industry standard for accurate stats, we're going to going in circles. If I didn't put this in my sig today, someone else would have tomorrow. So you see it better for us in the adult industry to get together and share ideas and work on making the industry prosper for everyone.

look at it this way, If alexa is the industry standard for accurate stats that advertisers go by, then we're in a shit load of trouble. But you know what, I'm sick of typing in something at google and the top 10, wait lets make that top 50 results has nothing to do with what I'm really looking for. I feel sorry for all the general public who have to go thur so much effort to find something so simple.
