Title: Why should you care?
Post by: MariGilmore on February 11, 2012, 10:12:21 AM
Across the board, SEO experts agree that if you download the "Alexa Toolbar" and visit your website once a day, encourage friends and colleagues to download the tool bar and visit each other's websites--that this will increase your Alexa ranking, too.

First of all Alexa is not accurate and its ranking and traffic are not considered as perfect metric for judging the website performance so don't care it.

Yes, you heard it right!

Alexa stats are not real. Alexa only ranks sites based on who has the Alexa toolbar.

Alexa ranking is not the benchmark. Infact, there are much important metrics (traffic, conversions, SERPs) to worry about.

Umm, not really traffic, but JUST the traffic from visitors that have Alexa toolbar installed on their system. And that's exactly why we call this system fake.
