April 27th, 2010

Alexa rank was developed by Amazon.com. It measures the traffic to a site for the last three months and one month simultaneously.

The assigning of a particular Alexa rank to a website or a blog  is based on the number of surfers(visitors) to your website. The surfers to the website must have the Alexa toolbar installed on their browsers otherwise they will not be counted. The Alexa rank counts the number of visitors and page views for all the websites on a daily basis.

This specific visitor counting also limit the actual measurement of popularity of a particular website or blog.

Proficient Blogging Strategies

March 20th, 2010

A blog is a true reflection of its creator. It reflects the creator’s thoughts, vision, and communications, exposed to the entire world. Blog tells the whole story in itself.

It may be a well-designed, well conceptualized and well managed blog on one hand and on the other hand it may also be just a collection of links, advertisements, banners, and even some irrelevant text posts.

“As more traffic is being driven to corporate blogs through organic searches and more first-time visitors are landing on blogs, companies need to develop blog and social media content that is appropriate for this audience in order to be effective,” said Chris Baggott, CEO and co-founder of Compendium. » Read more: Corporate Blogging and Social Media Trends Survey Findings
