Is My Alexa Rank Important?

Never heard of Alexa traffic rank?

Looking to earn income online? Alexa measures your sites visitors…… no visitors (low Alexa rank) ….. no money!

Will a High Alexa rank earn you money online?  No, you can have lots of website visitors and not earn a cent!

Alexa measures your web traffic and compares it to the rest of the world wide web, Your Alexa Rank shows what percentage of total world wide web web traffic your website is getting.

Alexa ranks domains per their web traffic and the pages each visitor visits while on the domain among other criteria. Unlike Google page rank where your web page is ranked on its content, links and keywords on a scale of 1 through 10, 10 being the highest rank. Alexa starts ranking in the millions (lowest rank) and goes to 1, which is the most visited site in the world.

As far as helping your website. I can see no real benefit to a good Alexa rank. Search engines already know how many visitors you are getting through their tracking. A truckload of visitors to your site every day will help you place higher in searches because of the simple fact people are coming to your site and reading your content and buying your products…… You must have something everyone wants! The search engines won’t miss seeing that! But does the ranking Alexa gives you for that traffic boost you on the search engines? Not that I know of. (Do you know something I don’t? Leave me a comment!)

That being said……

Does your Alexa rank help your sales or signups?  A huge yes!

I use Alexa stats to research websites and companies I may be doing business with as my first "check". Web pages boasting the millions they are making with Alexa ranks of 8 0r 9 million……. I wouldn’t trust to far. It takes traffic….. visitors…… online customers to make millions and it would show on Alexa!

Getting and keeping a domain in the top 300,000 (300,000 or lower number) visited sites in the world is not something you stick up on the web and "let it do its thing". Competition is fierce. It takes work daily, even with good keyword positioning…… (keyword position can change daily) you really need  teams working from different angles to  keep a larger sites traffic steady and high, holding a high Alexa rank (low number). (I do not own or work on a domain with a rank worse than 800,000). Figuring of how ever many billions of web sites there are out there, under 800,000 is not bad!

I use Alexa rank as a guide to how I view every website I browse. The Alexa "Sparky" add on for my  FireFox browser tells me how much traffic every site I visit is getting as soon as I click on the link. Do I believe what is on the page? Depending on what the owner says on the page and its Alexa rank……. we will see!

Check Your Google Page Rank

How does Google rank your pages?

 Google Page Rank is based on your pages….. content, keywords, back links and their relevance.

In other words….. is your web page important enough (in Googles eyes) to show in their top search results?

Is Google Page Rank Important?

Well, it is to Google. But Google search is getting ready for another big change….. will Page Rank play a factor in the future? No, but something else will…..

It is good to know where your website stands on the internet now…. Good content, relevant keywords and back links will probably always play a part. A good ranking now will most likely carry over to anything the search engines come up with as long as you are not using tactics to cheat them.

Keeping My New Car Clean

Here Is Yours.com by Scott on Aug.18, 2009, under Car Stuff

Did I forget to tell you about my "Cash For Clunkers" deal?

I am sure you have heard of the CARS or Cash For Clunkers government program to get gas guzzeling clunkers off the road and maybe stimulate the economy the right way for the car manufactures. If not, here is my story…..

I started researching the CARS program as soon as I heard about it. This was before most because I get emails from the White House about new legislation  through my involvement in the Pickens Plan. As usual the information can slowly and most was not even available until the day the program started. Read More

Me The Actor

Have you watched my videos?

I am to business focused and mono-toned I know! Even when I am excited about how well something is working for me….. I just keep talking along trying to hard to explain how whatever it is works. No one wants to know how it works anyway! As long as it works!

You see…. I can see at least some of my public speaking problems.

But they are nothing compared to hiding in the crowd not saying a word! I have been a man of few words all my life and probably always will be. Don’t let that fool you! I always listen and I am a quick learner.  But live presentations?  My acting is too good! I act calm when I am excited! Roll with the flow when I really want to stay on track……  Sorry people….. I just keep reeling off the information, over explaining everything (well, almost) and love trying to get others ideas and opinions!  Not a great presentation………..

Well boys and girls, I m going to keep trying to teach more people how to save money, time and aggravation, struggling to make money online by coming back time after time….. getting better each time ( I learn from my mistakes..lol) until everyone wants to come listen to me!

By all means….. Give me your feedback! Good or bad…. It will help me get better at providing the right information to you!

Thank you for watching, reading, and listening!

You will never be heard if you don’t make noise!
