How the frig does alexa work?
 

Ok.. this may be a stupid question but how do I get my site listed and ranked at Alexa? If I have a site that gets 10,000 uniques a day how will Alexa find out about it? Will they just automatically find me becuase a lot of sites are llinking to me?

Yup. that's the way.

Good response LOL

the alexa toolbar, i believe IE comes with it preinstalled, when someone with the toolbar visits your site alexa records it and thats where they get the ranking information from how many people with the toolbar hit your site

wasn't there a submit page at one time?

I don't think it comes preinstalled with IE, but yea, that's how they estimate hits to each site...

they have some sort of alexa soft pre installed do a fresh install of windows then run spybot

How many people you think run the Alexa toolbar?

I dont know anyone that uses the Alexa toolbar. How accurate can their data be? Or maybe its like TV ratings, they just take a smal sample to get accurate readings on massive audiences.

YARGH! Alexa rankings are the worst. Worse than me treasure maps drawn by Theo after a night of deck swabbin'

I have no idea how anyone could seriously use them. So easily manipulated with hit bots, cheaters, etc.

AHOY! Me rankers!
