Alexa

June 26, 2009 /

I dunno, when I view my Alexa details; it has information of other company, for which i have developed a website, a year ago. Previously, I put upload the website into my domain for the company to preview their website. My blog  has default setting for permalink (just numbers like this (https://emilayusof.com/?p=123), and since the company has the about page, I’m very sure that the Alexa bots crawled to look for about page on my blog.

Anyway, I’ve deleted the website preview soon as I handed it over to the company but I guess by then, Alexa bots have taken into account the about page. I tried to update and change the information but to no avail, if you have any idea on how to change this info, please do let me know.

Anyway, since I’m at this, let me talk about Alexa.

What is Alexa?
Alexa is a search engine currently owned by Amazon.com. It is a popularity based ranking which is achieved by loading Alexa toolbar on your browser.  The toolbar  installed provides you with certain additional information about the sites you are visiting. For example, Alexa automatically conducts a search when you type in the URL of any website. When you submit the URL, you will get generated information about the site.You can find info about its Traffic Stats, Contact Info, Demographics, Traffic Rank, Reach, Pageviews, Where People go on the URL, Where People COme From by Countries, Traffic Rank by Countries, Etc.

If you need to look at how your website or blog is doing; just go to Alexa.com. You will find  ‘Site Info’ tab just below the header. Click on it and you’ll be brought to a page where you can look up for Keyword search and Site Lookup. Type in your URL in the Site lookup box and hit Go button. You should be able to view your website/blog’s information.
