The New Alexa Rankings

By rubeina

Okay, this is already old news but I have to post about it since we have a challenge (the alexa challenge, where we have to rank in top 100 for Mauritius). It is a good thing that Alexa finally decided to change the way they rank sites but they could have done this after the end of April, don’t they know that we are onto a challenge here? (chuckle)

After the *major* changes here are the new rankings for all those trying to get in top 100 on Alexa in Mauritius

rubeina.com - 448 (was 374)
vincentlecluse.com - 2,602 (was 2,981)
yashvin.net - 1,269 (was 1,405)
lucain.com - 7,098 (was 3,530)

I don’t think it will be easy for us to get in top 100 now since we don’t know yet how alexa works now and at what frequency they are going to update but anyway I had a nice time trying to figure out how to get mauritian traffic on my blog. Not so easy if you ask me, probably if I had an anime site it would be much easier for me :P

The new graph, still looks almost same:

Now concerning the alexa changes I think that the new rankings are definitely going to be better than the previous ones, you can read more about the changes here http://www.alexa.com/site/company/announcement

In recent months we’ve heard from our Alexa users that understanding Internet usage beyond Alexa Toolbar users was increasingly of interest. Ask and you shall receive!

We listened to your suggestions, and we believe that our new rankings system is much closer to what you asked for. We now aggregate data from multiple sources to give you a better indication of website popularity among the entire population of Internet users.

This is one of the things I appreciate about the new changes in Alexa
Ranking, before it was mostly based on the toolbar which is why webmasters’
websites were ranking better than other websites, I don’t know what are their
other sources but now everyone’s ranking is going to be fair (I hope)

    hi to everyone…

    since i posted my comment for the game, i installed the alexa toolbar and that all.
    no cheating, or reloading my page hundreds of times per day, nothing.

    so, am really happy that my rank for mauritius got better by about 1000, by fair means ;)
    a small note : when i joined in on 2008.03.26
    Yashvin.net traffic rank was
    Mauritius 2,335 (perhaps there was an error rubeina)
    and now:
    Mauritius : 1,269

    thats all, leave u here and it was a good initiative, keep it up! (thumbup)

      Hi Ruby! It’s about time you wrote a new post! (chuckle) I think the change will be good too. I’m here doing my part and bringing you some US traffic - good luck getting into the top 100 (clap)

        Hello Yashvin, great changes to your website :)
        Concerning your Alexa rank, I updated my post on 28th March (I am not sure what your ranking was on 26th, see just 2 days of using the toolbar your ranking went up). In this post I have put the ranking for the last time I checked i.e. on the 7th of April. Even if I am not sure any of us will get in top 100 because of those new changes, it was fun trying to figure out how Alexa works.

        Hi Boddy :) Yup I know I am such a lazy blogger in fact not really lazy I just lack time… if only this post could come true http://www.rubeina.com/2008/02/i-need-more-hours-in-a-day/ I would be just fine to handle all the things I have to do. I need to find more time for my guitar too…

            […] trying to reach top 100 in Mauritius. Unfortunately none of us have been able to reach the target. Alexa recent update came at the wrong time too. But anyway, I think we are all doing pretty good with all of our blogs […]

              I heared the announcement that alexa has changed its ranking algorithm. I am little happy with this change because my website got little improvment. see new alexa ranking for http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in Fortune Park Hotels Ltd.
