The importance of Alexa rank to your website

What is the importance of Alexa ranking to your website or blog? Is the ranking system reliable? According to Alexa’s “Gathering Web Usage information, it utilizes web usage information coming from the community of Alexa Toolbar users. This means that a website’s Alexa Ranking depends on the traffic generated from visitors who have installed Alexa Toolbar in their internet browsers. This also means that your regular visitors who don’t have the toolbar will not contribute to your ranking. Alexa ranking is based on the three month traffic rank trend of a website.

Free Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Article writing

It is every webmaster’s dream to position their websites at the top of the world’s biggest search engine results page, like in Google, Yahoo and Bing. That’s why they will try to do everything from content writing, to link building, to even engaging in expensive online promotion system just to obtain that goal. When it comes to website development (in terms of traffic, ranking and popularity), most experts say that content is king, while others are claiming that it is instead SEO. This debate has already become trendy in many articles and blog posts from around the web. I even said in one of my article that content is king who is living in a marketing castle. In my opinion, content and Search Engine Optimization should not compete with each other. Why? It’s because they are part of each other.

Why promotion is not the king? There are tons of website owners who spend a lot of dime in site promotion like online advertising and search engine optimization, but still a majority of them don’t succeed. And to take a note, those few websites that contain quality contents are the only ones who gain long-term success. Expensive advertising may bring you thousands of visitors during the promotional stage of your site. But this doesn’t mean it will be the scenario as time goes by. It will still depend on the other three factors namely ease of use, cost of use and content quality. The traffic brought by promotion may only pass once and may never come back again if visitors realized the poor quality of a website. Read more
