Alexa is "rigged" for their advertiser, "AdBrite". It you don't believe me, check out "who" is advertising on Alexa.com right now.

AdBrite jumped from nothing to within 1000. Alexa doesn't even "say" their new sources, which makes me curious to why they even have a "new" or should I say, "rigged" system.

Good thing I am already using other stat sources such as compete.com or quanticast.

As a blogger for 2 years, Alexa just "tanked" their own system, how stupid is that?!?

Yup, the ranking for my site changed too. It was low already, now it is even lower.

Just to supplement my previous post here are some links

Gruvr.com (live music discovery map) on quantcast:
http://www.quantcast.com/gr...
Including one of our widgets:
http://www.quantcast.com/p-...

Now on ALexa:
http://www.alexa.com/data/d...

For complete silliness (under by 75%), compete.com: http://siteanalytics.compet...

ANother note of interest: Alexa seems to get the distribution for our new tickets.gruv.com subdomain correct, at 22% which is close to the quantcast 18% figure...

Yes, we noticed an overnight increase of about 22% in our 3-month alexa rank... it went from about 99k to 78k. I still don't quite know how to translate Alexa Reach numbers to real numbers.

In our case it's unlikely due to better accounting of firefox users, since that percentage is fairly small - but I do
have a guess at what extra sources Alexa might have consulted:

We publish our actual numbers (for a subset of the 300k+ gruvr pages indexed by google, anyway) on quantcast, which has always made Alexa seem embarassingly far off. So maybe Alexa now incorporates quantcast data?

The disparity is even worse for Compete.com data, which has been ridiculously inaccurate (and reads weeks behind to boot) compared to our verified quantcast data. THis seems really embarassing for Compete given all their puffing about 'triangulating' multiple sources.

Now maybe Alexa will catch up with quantcast and start publishing data that shows traffic for things like widgets as well... hm, well maybe in another 7 years.

At least Alexa FINALLY has country distribution percentages that more or less match the numbers given by my internal analytics tool. Perhaps there is some hope...

I launched my new website bizaru.com and its in alpha phase. My coders only access the website, and none of them have alexa toolbar

but still I got a poor raking according to new alexa rule.

I'm observing Asian websites and the most incredible thing happened: This site

http://newmandala.net/

had an Alexa ranking of around 200,000 before the change, now 25 million ...?!

This site

http://absolutelyBangkok.com

was below 300,000 before, now over 1 million.

And you trust Alexa?!

I wouldn't worry about it too much rodel. How much of your traffic was coming directly from Alexa?

One of my website's rankings has improved by more than 200%! You've gotta wonder though. I still see vast differences between Alexa and Questcast rankings though.

I didn't even notice, but yeah, mine improved. Yay!

Er...yay, I guess--I can't say I really care about Alexa ranking, although maybe it'll become a meaningful statistic with the changes. We'll see!
