Alexa Rank: No Data

Question

I own a domain and host for more than 2 years. I get No Data in alexa rank. I claimed my website in alexa for more than a month. But I still get No Data. Should I use a special technique to have my website indexed in alexa?

Answer 1

No data by Alexa usually means they have not recorded (or estimated) little or no traffic or visits for the last 3 months. This is what Alexa says about the same -

Alexa’s traffic rankings are based on the past three months of global traffic measured from our global traffic panel and are updated daily. An overall traffic ranking of “No data”, or “No rank” in the Toolbar, indicates that none of our sources show visits to the site in question during the past three months (as of our last update).

Do you have any analytics deployed? If yes, do you record any traffic (excluding your own)?

Answer 2

Running Google Analytics on your site shouldn't have any impact on whether you're listed on Alexa or not. Listing on Alexa is entirely a measure of traffic quantity over a 90-day period. If your website doesn't generate significant traffic, it will not be listed.

Answer 3

Just thought to share an answer that I was able to discover to start ranking in Alexa's radius. Some of the blogging wizards say that follow three steps to get your site/blog recognized by Alexa-

A) Install Alexa toolbar into your Firefox and Chrome browsers.

B) Install a Alexa Rank Plugin or Add Alexa Ranking code into your Blog or site.

C) Do something to drive traffic to your website or blog.

If someone finds a better idea, kindly do share it. I just followed the above three, and waiting for Alexa to rank my blog. I did add a Text Widget to my blog and embed the Alexa Rank HTML code. If you like, can check it from TechBeamers.com.
