Beginning December 08, I set my target to improve Blogjer’s Alexa Rank below 100K on Alexa Rank. After 4 months , Blogjer finally break the 100K milestone few days back.
Happy? Yes I’m, and in fact it adds more ‘fire’ to the blogging spirit. I’d love to see it improved further, although the inconsistent office hour recently, slow me down little bit. Psst, I write this post while running some script!
So what it takes to rank less than 100K. This is truly just my experience, you need at least 30K – 40K page views per month to get here. It could be more or less depend on your audience. Tech blog used to rank higher because they have these 2 below tools installed.
Yeap , I have Alexa Widget installed on my blog, and Alexa Sparky Firefox add-ons. Both tools contribute to better Alexa Ranks as well, as some count are came from there.
Certainly you have to post more and more and more post…frequently.. The more post you have the more pages indexed by search engines. Make sure you choose topic that interest you most, and you readers!!
I didn’t do social bookmarking, except tweeting and facebooking each new post posted automatically using WordPress plugin, Twitter Tool and Wordbook respectively..
My next target is 80K, in another 4 months..
To Alex rank fan, another round of Alexa ranking update happens today!! Looking back the update trend for the last 3 months starting from December, it seems now that Alexa ranking update now happen monthly, instead of weekly as before.
On last December, the rank update rolled out around 7th December, while on January it happens around 9th January. And for this months, it happen at 10th/11th February, as I notice my blog has their rank being updated intermittently.
Probably it is safe now to conclude that, Alexa rank update happens in the range of 7th to 11th every month.
Blogjer has its biggest jump ever, skyrocketing from 193k to 136k, which its best Alexa rank ever as well. Love to see it again next month.

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.
