Yahoo SEO: Algorithm changed?

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I noticed that recently I got more visit from Yahoo and it keep increase day by day even going to surpass Google which previously dominate my source of visitors. The big jump is actually happen this month, April when I checked from the web analytic. See the statistics:

Total Monthly Visits from Google/Yahoo/MSN/Live

Based on this week statistic, Yahoo already surpass Google. I just wondering, is Yahoo implement new search algorithm, more people are now using Yahoo or I successfully did the SEO for my websites.

However MSN/Live still suck.

Anyone noticed this as well?

Alexa ranking - more difficult to manipulate

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Today I noticed that Alexa ranking has changed. They changed the way they calculate the ranking. For those who manipulate the ranking will noticed that their website now ranked lower, very much lower than previous day. However it makes the Alexa ranking more reliable and much more difficult to manipulate. The publisher would now start looking not just for more page view but more visitors. This new ranking system seems give more value to number of visit to the website. They might still consider the page view but either they put the limit number of page view per visitor or they lower down the value of it. It’s now visit game no longer page view game.

What is the impact?

  1. The Alexa ranking drops significantly especially the websites that has ranking > 10000.
  2. Alexa rank more reliable
  3. The Alexa boaster e-book will obsolete
  4. New e-book will come to market soon
  5. New game started

Good luck
