Alexa also uses "stars" in the overall ranking information based on users' comments on the website to grade the website, with a maximum rating of "5 stars ". If the Alexa Toolbar is embedded in IE, the overall ranking of each website is displayed. If you use Alexa to view a website, you will first see the overall ranking of the website, with screenshots of the homepage of the website on the current day and a simple text description of the website content.

Alexa Ranking:
Alexa lists the rankings of a specific website in the same category. Alexa divides the websites it collects into 16 categories, and each category is divided into multiple themes. Second, by language, the ranking of a specific site in all such language websites is given. Alexa provides classification rankings for websites in 21 different languages. The Chinese website is divided into simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Only the top 100 Chinese websites are listed.
You can click "See Traffic Details" to view detailed statistics and charts on website visits. In addition to the overall ranking of the same website, it also includes the following information:
1. Traffic trend chart of the first three months, the first six months, and one year closest to the current day.

Factors affecting the ranking of Alexa website traffic
 

1. The usage of Alexa Toolbar varies globally and is influenced by the user's language, region, and culture. Therefore, compared with websites in other languages, the access data of an English website is more likely to be fully counted.
2. It is easy to be influenced by the website's degree of self-promotion, the number of advertisements, and the number of links created for other websites.
3. Websites of different categories are sometimes not comparable, so you cannot simply compare the overall ranking. For example, professional websites rank very top in the same category of websites, but the page views may vary greatly compared with portal websites.
4. Ranking websites should add their own URLs to Alexa. Otherwise, the traffic statistics will be affected, and Alexa does not provide detailed statistics on the visits to these websites.
5. Website statistics with a low page view rate may be inaccurate. The higher the overall ranking (the higher the page view rate), the more reliable the website statistics.
Alexa publishes relevant statistics globally over the Internet. When authoritative news media from China to other countries around the world discuss the scale of a famous website, alexa is not the standard. No second website like alexa in the world does not require you to insert his code into the webpage to calculate rankings. He treats all websites in the world equally.
 

 

 

ALEXA's website traffic ranking mechanism
 

A large number of website addresses and detailed data and statistics have established the authority of Alexa's website world rankings. To this end, it is necessary to describe Alexa's page view rate statistics and ranking mechanism.
I. Prerequisites for Alexa's browser view rate statistics and ranking
1. Alexa's website ranking is based on the page views rate of each specific website. The higher the page view rate, the higher the ranking.
2. The page view rate is calculated for websites defined in the domain. For example, www.sina.com.cn, news.sina.com.cn, and tech.sina.com.cn will be counted as the same website because they belong to the same sina.com.cn domain. However, there are also exceptions. For example, if the personal homepage can be automatically distinguished from the URL address, it will be regarded as a separate website.
3. Websites that provide the same content will be regarded as the same website for computing. For example, if you use www.cgan.com and www.cgan.org to publish the same content, it will be calculated as the same website.
4. The traffic included in the statistics is only from users who use the Alexa Toolbar. That is to say, only the user has downloaded the Alexa toolbar and embedded it into his browser. In this way, the access records of a user accessing a website can be counted as the number of visits to the website. According to Alexa statistics, the number of users using this toolbar is now millions.
5. The Alexa Toolbar is only valid in the windows operating system and Internet Explorer. Access to other operating systems or browsers cannot be counted.
6. If a website has security protection or encryption, the Alexa Toolbar will be automatically disabled. Therefore, Alexa cannot search and rank websites with high security.
 

 

Statement on Alexa ranking cheating
 

 

What does Alexa use to calculate traffic?
Alexa collects statistics based on the feedback from IE users who installed Alexa Toolbar. Not some people say: Alexa will calculate all the WEB traffic on the Internet. It is obviously impossible to do this.
How does Alexa Toolbar work?
Alexa Toolbar uses the BHO technology and Toolbar Bands technology to monitor IE behavior. Each change in the address bar of the IE browser. However, in security considerations, Alexa Toolbar does not count users' HTTPS traffic. Alexa Toolbar sends an HTTP request to the http://data.alexa.com to send user browsing information.
Can Alexa ranking cheat?
The cheating methods and tools you can search for on the Internet are invalid. For example, there is a way to use a browser like MYIE to brush rankings. Obviously, this statement does not understand how Alexa Toolbar works. MYIE will not load Alexa Toolbar. Alexcyclster does not work either, because it ignores the aid generation algorithm and the role of cookies.
Does Alexa recognize cheating behavior?
Alexa has an algorithm to determine whether the received information is suspected of being forged.
Will Alexa punish fraud?
Alexa's information comes from users of Alexa Toolbar, rather than the website itself. The authenticity of the data cannot be guaranteed. It is irresponsible to punish a website based on the unreliable data alone, because it is likely that some people maliciously forge false information of a website to make Alexa punish the website. However, Alexa will ignore the data sent by IP addresses suspected of cheating.
Can automatic webpage jump and refresh increase the Alexa ranking?

It is not feasible to increase the access volume by refreshing the page.
