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
