Improve your Alexa
Rank, and Catapult your website into the Premier League,
above 99.96% of the rest of the World's domains !
According to the
Internet Software Consortium (http://www.isc.org)
in January 2004 there were over 233 million (233,101,481)
different Internet Domains. Each one of these could be a 'web site' as we know
them, or indeed one could host many different web sites (such as
mypage.btopenworld.com etc).
Alexa
constantly monitors and 'trawls' over 3.5 billion distinct URL's (each URL
points to one web page) to produce a list of the top 100,000 websites in the
World, and these are ranked according to the amount of web traffic or visitors
they receive. The lower the rank of a site at Alexa, the more popular it is.
Today,
yahoo.com are ranked number 1, whilst msn.com are number 2 and so on. To
give you an example of the level of traffic required to occupy the number 1
slot, in June 2003 Yahoo.com had a unique audience of 87,894,668 (source :
Nielsen/NetRatings) - well over 87 million unique visitors.
Irrespective of your
websites' current ranking at Alexa, you can skyrocket it into the
Worlds top 50,000 websites - that's into the top 0.03% of domains worldwide,
with a regular traffic order from JustVisits.
Here are some
popular websites that don't make it into the top 50k, at the time of
writing :
