you should only take alexa ranking as your secondary info. it doesnt affect google or yahoo ranking at all so it is not that important</description>

		<description>sitemap do the same job. Although you should always try to reference other posts you’ve done in new posts when applicable. Use best keywords to link to older stuff when relevant in new posts.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a little redundant.  For the valuable space it takes up you can let your categories and sitemap do the same job.  Although you should always try to reference other posts you&#039;ve done in new posts when applicable.  Use best keywords to link to older stuff when relevant in new posts.</description>

		<description>Thanks again, everyone, for your feedback. Nice comment on the tag cloud. I never really liked it, but saw most people use it. Isn&#039;t it another way for google to find your content? Meaning, it will index the keyword against the related articles. This way you have more entry points?

		<description>Augie, Jack is right, keep adding the relevant link bait, in other words, great content your visitors want to read and link to. One of our sites went from an Alexa rank of 437,000 to 700,000 + whilst at the same time going from 100, to 500 and then 1000 uniques a day!

The site now has a fanatical following, makes excellent income into 6 figures, and has now spawned a couple of off shoot sites that are starting to make money. I have found Alexa to be a totally meaningless measure of a sites profitability, and that is the point for me.

 As for its ability to measure traffic, I am at a loss to know how it works and don&#039;t particularly care! I would certainly take of the Alexa widget from your site because it has no relevance for your visitor.

Since looking site by the way although I don&#039;t know what Jack thinks, I would take that tag cloud away. In my humble opinion it is a further distraction, I don&#039;t believe it has any seo value and use that for some more relevant ad space.

		<description>I always wondered if Alexa was a good measuring stick for traffic. I know it&#039;s not completely accurate but when people come to your site, they use the reading on the toolbar to gauge if your getting traffic or not. Even when selling a website most users look at the Alexa ranking.

		<description>Alexa rank seems like one of those things that should be ignored.  As should Google rank, really.  Just keep plugging along and improving your site and your numbers will reflect it.  Continually monitoring your rank doesn&#039;t help any and and can actually be deflating.
