The Other Search Engines

Hi friends,

I'm newbie to web master world and I have a question.

Can you suggest me the average number of hits for a website which could be in 100.000 rank in Alexa?

I would appreciate any answer.

Best regards,

A couple hundred visitors would probably do it, if each of them had the Alexa toolbar installed... I don't know what the average might be, but it can vary wildly.

Thank you for your answer.

I owned a website which is 144.000 rank at Alexa last year. It has only 100 hits per day and it took 9 months since I uploaded. So the total number of hits is about 16.000 right?

I posted this question because Alexa has just changed the way to rank a website. It will not depend on the usage of Alexa Toolbar anymore.

So a couple hundred visitors per day which you recommended is really a shock for me.

Is there another idea?

Nope, it still primarily depends on the toolbar being installed. Only the method of calculating changed.

And unless you are looking to scam the gullible or terminally stupid with a make believe metric when selling a site, it is still of no use at all.

Thank you.

I see this forum is very useful.

Is there any other idea about the average number of hits per day?

Yes, the alexa rank only ranks how many people that use their toolbar visit a site. The average number of hits per day is counted by average number of alexa toolbar users that visit a site per day....again...it does nothing for your site but make you happy when your rank goes up.

You have tools to check alexa rank, right? Now, using that tool plus traffic estimate, you will have idea on how many hits you need to have for you to gain a certain alexa rank.

If I am not mistaken, they still use the tool bar.
