About Alexa.
Saturday, May 5th, 2007Yes, it is well known to be the biggest heap of shit around. It’s classified as Spyware and will be removed from your computer unless it is allowed by you. Its results are known to be skewed, and it’s damn right annoying. BUT you need it none the less if you want to get worthwhile opportunities on PayPerPost. It doesn’t matter if the results are tits up or not, any score is worthwhile to get the decent posts.
It relies on people with the Alexsa Toolbar to visit your site to get its data and give your site a lower score (the lower the score with Alexsa, the better). It gathers data about the sites you visit, but it keeps whoever is visiting the sites anonymous. A lot of people are uncomfortable about this, but if you want decent posts with PayPerPost then you have no choice. On the plus side, because the user is anonymous, you can get a better score by visiting your own site.
It’s crap, but you can’t do without it.
