A Story

 You want to purchase some Potatoes from Market; what will you ask to Shopkeeper? Will you ask him to purchase two Potatoes or one bag Potatoes or else? In this way, it’ll create complexity for shopkeeper to give you Potatoes. To overcome this complexity; we take help of Scales to measure amount of Potatoes to purchase or sell and we use Kilo Gram or Gram or any other unit of measurement to fix price of any item as per its values.

Analogous to Shopkeeper and Customer story, Our Website’s value is measured according to its Alexa Ranking and it works on Traffic to our website or some other Algorithm. In above Story, you have observed that Measuring Scales works as mediator that tells about value of Potatoes to Shopkeeper and Customer. In Same manner, there is some toolbar that shows your Alexa Ranking to you and to your visitors.

 About Alexa.com

Alexa.com is a subsidiary of Amazon.com that measures traffic to any website as ranking system along with visiting frequency to various websites. Simply, it is a Web Information Company that gives all information about any website.

 Working of Alexa Ranking

As you have seen in above story of Shopkeeper and Customer, Measuring Scale works as mediator that determines value of Potatoes and Customer Pays according to that.

Here Alexa Toolbar acts as Measuring Scale that not only displays ranking of your website but also it send data to the central server thus Alexa Ranking only works when Central server receives data from its toolbar so it only works where Internet Browser contains Alexa Toobar. Data contains Visitor IP address and visiting page. So we conclude that Alexa ranking is based on two parameters Reach and Page Views and shows ranking by calculating geometric mean of Reach and Page Views. Mathematically, it is written as follows:

                  Alexa Ranking = √Reach * Page Views

 That is Alexa Ranking is equal to square root of multiplication of Reach and Page Views in three months.
