Thread: Alexa widget..nothing is showing.

I put the Alexa widget on my blog but it says no data..when will it show my data and how can I get it to show it?

How do you get an Alexa widget on a blog?

Hmm, maybe you should go to www.alexa.com and tell the alexa spiders and tell their spiders to crawl your site by going here.

Abdullah, you can learn how here.

It usually just takes a while for your site to really get out there and recognized. Just give it time.

my guess is that it takes some time to show the data...just wait a while

I did the crawling bit but is says it may take up to eight weeks before the data is available. I hope I don't have to wait that long lol.

nah eight weeks is too long...it probably starts working in few hours or one day maximum

forget about alexa, it's totally manipulated ...

little example; do a whole bunch of directory submissions and you'll see a huge peak in your alexa ranking, why? because you actually got sooo many more visitors? no, because so many of the directory reviewers have the alexa toolbar installed, while almost nobody else has it ... that's why ...

you want to rank high in alexa ? just make sure that you have a bunch of friends who put your site as their default start page and of course the alexa toolbar, that's how easy it is and that's why alexa is not trust worthy.
