I got this opinion not to follow alexa widgets or redirections because it’s not much effective. I have already used on my hotel site http://www.fortunehotels.in, so should I continue it or not??Visit here to see http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in alexa traffic ranking of fortunehotels.in

PapaJoneh.. you are fast. When I saw and was reading this, there was even a comment… where you poofed up from ar?? haha.

Well, as PapaJoneh put it, most people will try to get a better Alexa ranking for the sake of PPP. I am one of the stupe after reading this. Haha. I do see a few sites with over few millions in Alexa and yet they are having a minimum of a PR3 and are doing quite well.

If you check on those foreign sites with a PR4-5, some are having about 1m in Alexa ranking. I just wonder if Google judge on Alexa to rank a site?

Yes PPP also. You get lower pay opp for higher alexa. That is why i seldom do PPP and furthermore, the request is totally stupe. Just for a mere $5, asking for lower alexa, PR5 and even dare ask the PR6 for minimum 200 words.

For me it is considered useless if it can be manipulated. in this case, yes Alexa rating too… and the Technorati. Nothing beat real traffic score… but how to rank it other than this method?

So for me again, i just left them in the ‘ignored’. I do hope for lower alexa numbers though
Thanks for the link.. now everybody should read that!
