How Alexa Can Be Useful To Bloggers

I installed Google Analytics onto the site as of yesterday, so we can track what's happening around here. If you don't know what that is, it is a service that helps monitor the traffic to your blog so you can see exactly what's happening behind the scenes.

As for today in the latest article, Using Alexa As a Tool To Research Your Blog Idea, I talk about another online service, Alexa, which is a web information company and why it is useful to bloggers. Basically, if you want to know who's who and how they're performing online, this is a site to take note of.


What's more, users of the Mozilla Firefox web browser can download their toolbar. I also suggest a couple more toolbars which can help you distinguish how a site performs as a whole.

1. WebRank Toolbar - see indexed pages and backlinks
2. Quirk's SearchStatus Toolbar - link reports on dofollow, keyword density and more

Alexa overall makes it easy to browse their site. They are simple, easy and pretty straight-forward in their approach. Just add a meta tag, which they'll give to you once you register and claim your site. Thus, any site owner should consider joining their community and share your thoughts through reviews on what you think about your favorite blogs.

At the moment, this site is also indexed with Alexa. :)

That's it for today folks.
