There are many social networking services operated like www.orkut.com, www.myspace.com, www.facebook.com etc. Orkut.com is being operated by www.google.com. MySpace is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends. These are popular sites especially among youths. We can judge the popularity of these sites by seeing their ranking in http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.... Alexa. Orkut has been steadily rising on the Alexa charts but MySpace is still significantly bigger than Orkut.com.

Re: What To Make Of The Funded

Alexa is a subsidiary of Amazon.com and is a website which provides information on traffic levels for websites. The Alexa rank is measured according to the amount of users who have visited a website with the Alexa toolbar installed.

The Alexa Rank is a ranking system based on the level of traffic each website receives from the number of people who visit a website with the Alexa toolbar installed. Webmasters, advertisers and ad networks use blog’s Alexa rank as a gauge to determine the worth of a link on your website. If one depends on link or site selling as a form of monetization one will definitely want to increase their Alexa rank because it’ll increase bargaining power when it comes to ad pricing.

Alexa faces problem that Alexa ranking is heavily skewed towards websites, which have a large webmaster/tech audience. This is because webmasters are much more likely to have the Alexa toolbar installed than websites whose visitors are unaware of Alexa. Alexa is a silly way to measure web traffic but unfortunately, in an imperfect world Alexa is still heavily used by webmasters and ad networks when measuring the value of advertising on your website. There are defects of Alexa ranking system but the Alexa Rank has become a central element in site monetization strategies.

To increase your http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.... Alexa rank in the long run, it is recommended that one should focus on developing quality content, which attracts and maintains a large audience instead of purely focusing on artificially increasing your Alexa Rank. Great link-worthy content will leads to an natural increase in site traffic and is an excellent way to passively increase your Alexa rank.

Re: Introducing to Alexa web ranks

Alexa calls itself a web information company. No introduction is required to be given about Alexa. Alexa is one of the most prolific search engines more so in the use as against the rest of the world. There are rife speculations on and off that Alexa is a spy ware. The Alexa toolbar is often regarded as a spy ware by many vendors. However, the antivirus company Symantec describes the toolbar as a trackware. Antivirus company McAfee also assigns a danger to the Alexa toolbar. The tests conducted by the former on the Alexa toolbar showed downloads that are thought to be spyware, adware, or other unwanted programs. Apart from McAfee, that has marked Alexa toolbar as Adware-Alexa, a “Potentially Unwanted Program” even other antivirus vendors have done the same.

For those who thought that Google has the monopoly as far as search engines are concerned, well, think again. Though Google is still at the top, it has started receiving competition from various quarters albeit at a smaller scale. Alexa is one search engine that was thought to give some competition to Google in some quarters of the world. On the lines of Alexa and Google Trends, Complete, Inc has come up with Snapshot. Snapshot is thought to be much more accurate then Alexa but there are certain limitations that might thwart the popularity of Snapshot. Firstly, in Snapshot one can compare only three sites. Secondly, sites with less that 10000 uniques are excluded and thirdly, this is available only for the US audience. These three limitations still keep Google the favorite followed by Alexa.
