Hello friends,

Please Tell Me, How are Alexa's traffic rankings determined?

Alexa's Traffic Ranks are based on the traffic data provided by Alexa's global sample over a rolling 3 month period. Traffic Ranks are updated daily. A site's ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day.

Alexa rank is calculated by combining a site's estimated traffic as well as visitor engagement over the previous three months. Traffic and engagement are estimated from data provided by its toolbar. This monitors a user browsing behavior which acts as a sample of all Internet users.

According to Alexa, their "global traffic rank is a measure of how a website is doing relative to all other sites on the web over the past 3 months. The rank is calculated using a proprietary methodology that combines a site's estimated average of daily unique visitors and its estimated number of page views over the past 3 months."

For those who would like to rank higher on Alexa, you can begin by establishing your website with Alexa. The basic package will certify your Alexa Rank and provide you with various pieces of information such as page views, audience geography, and Facebook shares and likes to name a few.
