Huge Alexa Rank Gain
Alexa’s ranking system has been overhauled and they say it is now a more accurate represantation of website popularity. Alexa claims they now rely on more methods of measurement other than the Alexa toolbar
This blog www.xhydra.com had an Alexa ranking of 2,121,224 as of yesterday but today it stands at 713, 120. An incredible gain of over 200%. All of a sudden I am in the top 1 000 000. The issue however lies in the accuracy of the Alexa ranking system….. which has always been in doubt.
My opinion is that the shortcomings Alexa has apply to this blog as well as other blogs/websites so Alexa’s system shows a rough indication of this blog’s ranking relative to other sites in cyberspace.
My next target is to hit the top 100,000 in Alexa’s ranking system

I didn’t know that they’d changed anything, let alone their algorithms, I will be sure to take a look!

Alexa is always a fun site to check out and look at ranks. Nice to check out your competition or similar sites to just for the heck of it.

I wonder how many people actually have the tool bar. It seems like everyone has a tool bar of some kind and most people never even heard of alexa not to mention the alexa tool bar. So I wonder how important it is and how it really affects ones ranks.

After 2 months from it’s launch, the Small Business Income Center is on the verge of dropping below 1,000,000 worldwide and 150,000 in the United States. Yet, Google PageRank still checks in at PR0.
We patiently await the next Google PageRank update as well as cracking Alexa’s Top 100,000.
