Yet another Alexa ranking update on week 3, February

When I said last week that Alexa ranking is now being updated on monthly basis, I’m not sure if it still accurate right now. A day or 2 after February ranking update, there is another update which is positive for me.

And 1 week later, which is today, another update happens. After 3 months in a row Alexa ranking being updated on monthly basis, probably Alexa is ready to rolled out the update more frequently. So at the mean time, just lets Alexa doing its job, and we works harder to to achieve better ranks.

A reader asked about the relation between Alexa rank and traffic. Basically, the more traffic to your sites, the better Alexa ranking you’ll have. But keep in mind, that the traffic only counted from browser that has Alexa Toolbar installed. If you have Alexa badge installed on your site, that will contribute to better Alexa rank as well.

Sony Ericsson P990i, has been ‘accompanying’ me for years without failing to deliver what I’m expecting from it.  But when come to upgrading phone, we left with very little choices from SE.  There is P1 and X1, but I just don’t love it, and end up in iPhone.

Sony Ericsson Idou concept phone unveiled at Barcelona however is different. It is quite impressive although no spec released except the 12 megapixel camera phone and run on Symbian.

But one thing they should get rid off, please put lesser button at the side of the phone. Just control everything including camera by the touch screen.
