Alexa acting strange

Fonz · 2006-03-08, 11:05 AM

I've never been a big fan of the alexa results but I've checked them today and it appears the smaller/medium LLs have made a huge jump forward.

SmilingPussylinks.com +468,592
ScorpioLinks.com +445,717
PornoPlentyXXXLinks.com +389,890
FetishPhiles.com +247,442
(there are a lot more results ofcourse

)

Any explanation for this?

Fonz, Alexa has apparently made some major changes in their infrastructure, and so the data has been all over the road. They have had days of little or no data, followed by days of huge peaks and so on.

Alexa's biggest problem is that their survey size isn't very big. At the bottom end, I have a feeling that just adding the Alexa toolbar onto your browser and visiting your sites daily would be enough to push you into the top 250,000 without a blink. I get a big laugh when the traffic for a site I have stays steady but Alexa reports it going up and down like a whore's drawers.

Don't take the data as anything important.

It's some change at Alexa I'd say. I'm seeing steady organic growth in my traffic but no kind of jump that would justify that kind of rating change if it were legit. I was curious myself and looked at about a dozen of my domains, and found a couple with little/no traffic that were in the 200k rating range.
