Alexa is not dead (yet)

I admit that I love stats very much. Every point is counted. So when I woke up this morning and at opening blogjer, ah.. I see that blogjer’s Alexa rank has increased, so Alexa is still alive.. intermittently though.

Couple of days ago, I read an article in Teknobites, TheInquisitr, Centernetworks, and other couple of blogs to see if Alexa rank is still alive and relevant and how often it is updated. I myself has written about the inconsistency of the Alexa update before.

I tried to refrain myself from looking on the article before April 15th, when Alexa announces the changes on how their ranking system work. Back then, the algo is totally useless and sometimes even sounds sarcastic.

Time will tell if Alexa can compete with the like of Compete and Hitwise.

If they are going to die soon, fortunately hubdub has prepared a tombstone for them.
