Alexa the popular search engine and stats sites, has some good graphs.  The following shows the reach or the relative number of visitor for every sample of search enquiries.  What is clear from the graph is that our

traffic levels are on a pretty much steady upwards trend.  This is really great news all around as it means more exposure for Article Alley and more traffic and visitors for our authors work and their websites.

Alexa the popular search engine and stats site continues to like Article Alley!  Our rankings are now the best ever, we are amongst the top 5,547 sites in the World.  Thats some going.

A big thanks as always to our loyal base of authors and regular users.  We continue to progress this year, and in a couple of months our new site will be going live.  This will have lots of great features which should greatly boost our progress and traffic further.

What I like about Alexa is that you can track your performace relative to your competitors.  Its not perfect by any means but it does give you an idea of how you are doing relative to other similar websites.

Article Alley has long been the top UK article website, but now we are in the top few places in both the USA and worldwide.  Our aim is to get back to the top three position and increase our traffic accordingly.

Alexa the popular search engine and web statistics site continues to show us making good progress throughout June 2009. Alexa is great to compare your website to others, its absolute traffic levels are

not that accurate, because without access to your website logs its not possible to know.

What Alexa does is use the experience of several million users of its toolbar, that way it can track the pattern of these users and extrapolate that out to the complete internet, the flaw with this approach is that it magnifies the user who use Alexa, which are more SEO folk etc.

All the same its pleasing to see our traffic steadily rising. You have to be careful not to get addicted to sites like these! Otherwise you can spend all your time looking for evidence of the progress of your online marketing strategy, rather than actually getting on with it!

As long as you check Alexa just from time to time its fine, or use it to check out your competition, remember its easy to fake high Alexa traffic levels, but why would you manipulate the appearance of low traffic levels?

A lot of web users slate Alexa, but I think its fine and also a bit of fun at the same time.

Article Alley continues to do well on Alexa, I like the changes that Alexa has made recently, their new interface is clean and fresh, and they seem to have learnt how to better monetize.

Our progress is pleasing and we are really starting to gain on our competitors, three years ago, we led the field, but now we are having to work hard just to catch back up.

Our new features such as video and tags are really helping, and there are more new features due for launch soon.

Increased traffic for Article Alley means more visitors for our authors and more exposure for their work, so this is great news all around.

Another new feature on Alexa is greater information on links - this is helpful as we can now spot more of what our competitors are doing and work to improve on this ourselves.

Your dedicated Article Alley team of editors and search marketeers is plugging away for you and we are determined to get back to the top.

Alexa the popular traffic analysis / search engine shows the clear progress we have been making recently, today Article Alley is within the top 6,500 sites (the top 6,491 to be precise) and the trend has a stready upward direction.

Alexa has a number of issues with it due to it measuring traffic from toolbar users, but it does closely match our own internal stats.

As always the more traffic we get, the more visitors get to view and visit our authors sites, making articlealley more valueable than ever as a promotional article directory site.

Our progress since mid January has been really good - I normally post updates to our Alexa rank at the end of each month, but this last week has been so promising that I couldn’t resists updating.  Historically Article Alley peaked at around this level in mid 2007, but its taken until now to recover the ground.

What encourages us is that this progress has been made without the new content that we have ready to add being live. Anyway nobody can know what the future will bring but for now we are looking up at the stars.

Once again alexa the popular web stats / search engine shows us making good progress, in keeping with our internal stats we are significantly ahead of December.

We are looking forward to the rest of our new features going live in February as we are hopeful that they will also lead to further significant progress.

Increased traffic means more exposure for our growing author base, good news for us is good news for our members

Our latest alexa ranking continues to improve, its not a very accurate tool but it reflects what we see internally a gradual increase in traffic.

Alexa is a search engine in its own right, but helpfully shares its users traffic statistics in the form of a league table #1 is the most visited site.

I am not one to watch Alexa, as I know it can be easily distorted by a small group of users, but the last week has seen a consistant upward trend, I am guessing that it reflects the 24,000 article backlog that built up 2 weeks ago, getting through our editorial process.

Alexa is often slated as a tool, but I think its fun and it certainly helps to encourage our in house team.

Article Alley continues to advance its Alexa score, whilst not necessarily a highly accurate measure of site traffic Alexa does give a general guide to a sites popularity.  The lower the score the better!  As can be seen ArticleAlley is now within the top 23,600 sites on Alexa.

Alexa gathers Site Stats from a variety of sources to provide key statistics about each site on the web. These include: Traffic Rank and Speed which are derived from Web usage information, and Other sites that link to this site, and Online Since, both of which come from Web content.
