About Alexa Traffic Rank

One of the traffic rank a website or blog that provides data is accurate enough Alexa. Alexa is useful resource for people to discover information about websites. You can use Alexa to discover how popular a site is, to find new sites, to learn who owns a site and a lot more. Whether you are a web professional trying to size up your online competition or you're just trying to find the best website to buy a new TV, Alexa is for you.


Top Sites
What if you could take all the websites in the world and sort them by popularity? Alexa has done just that. Click on the Top Sites tab to unlock a whole world of information about websites. You can see a list of the most popular sites in the world, based on global rankings — something only Alexa can provide you. Popular sites by country is another Alexa exclusive. For example, if you want to know what sites people in Brazil like to visit, you can find out.
Perhaps the most powerful Top Sites feature is located in the "By Category" tab, where you can see lists of top sites in thousands of different categories. Say that you are interested in "extrasolar planets;" Alexa has a category for that: Science > Astronomy > Extrasolar Planets. There you'll find a list of 33 different sites about extrasolar planets — all sorted by popularity. Top Sites by Category is a great way to discover new sites.

Therefore I dare to go back and discuss the assessment whether an article is useful or not I fully submit to the readers and visitors to my blog.
If we directly writing www.alexa.com on the browser page, the page is shown below:


Perhaps you are confused, where registration and become a member of this site. Although our data directly fill the web address or our site here is not really a problem, even for a widget. But still we have not considered alexa as a member, so as to open the menu Contact Info, Related Links, Clickstream, Demographics and did not find data on what the data should include a web or blog us.
To condense the article because it will contain many pictures as illustration, we will start the steps.
1. Open your Browser Page
2. Type in the Home Page www.alexa.com/help or click here so that the page will appear as follows:


3. At the top right Corner there is a menu option 'Register' and 'Login'.
4. Select the 'Register' to start the registration data. So the page that appears is as follows:


5. Fill your data correctly on each of the fields that are available, the menu and then select 'Sign Up'.
6. Close the page of your site and alexa page you open your email to continue the registration process.

3. Then select the menu 'Build Widgets', then the page will appear as follows:


4. Right Mouse click on one of your columns that you want the HTML code, and then Select 'Select All' and copy the HTML code.

The last step is the part that is easy, as follows:

2. Select the Layout menu, then Page Element menu.
3. Select the 'Add Gadget' column on your sidebar.
4. Select the Gadget 'HTML JavaScript' and 'paste' the HTML code that you get from alexa earlier.
5. Select the 'Save and View your Blog or Web.
6. Done.

One thing that I need to remind, Alexa usually takes 1 or 2 days to confirm your registration data, but to update Traffic Rank usually takes 2 or 3 days, depending on the number of visitors on the website or blog you have.
For the master, suggestions and criticisms you please comment channeled through the city. Of course, suggestions and criticisms which I expected to build. Hopefully useful..
