Alexa rankings are flawed
July 13th, 2010 by admin
The Alexa Company are a web site ranking company which is run by Amazon. They’ve got a toolbar that customers put in inside their web browser. If they visit an internet site, this info is sent back to the company which apply it to rank all the sites on the internet in terms of traffic to the websites. Google is actually rated number 1. Alexa have got several million customers with the toolbar, which means this appears impressive. Nonetheless, the people that often put in the plugin tend to be computer knowledgeable. And so the Alexa ratings are going to be biased towards the sites which those who are technologically savvy have a tendency to visit often.
