But there is no way to influence it like with a toolbar. They have a sample audience and they extrapolate the traffic.

 

And installing the code won't influence the ranking. The code is ONLY to collect the demographics of your visitors. It seems stupid to collect the demographics and not use the data to influence the compete score, but that is how it works. Don't take my word for it http://www.compete.com/help/q225

 

Advertisers might be interested in knowing your demographics, so for that purpose, you can install the code. But to improve the score, you just have to give it time.

I find both of them inaccurate and tend to check both of the numbers. They attempt to estimate traffic numbers from websites mainly using toolbar data. 

Alexa is more generally used and some advertisers use that number, but the amount of visitors you actually get to your blog is far more important.

wow guys - didn't even know compete rank existed.  anyone with a brief synopsis of what it is and why it is important for us?

with alexa, moz, G PR, seems like yet another stat to add to the plate

 

Why it matters: It doesn't other than that it's used as part of the PF blogosphere ranking lists.  That's why I bothered to put the code on my site, and for no other reason.

Increase the number of visitors and you'll start to see your compete rank. They aren't very accurate, so I wouldn't worry too much about them.

If compete don't have enough data on your visit numbers they do not return a value. You just have to get more visitors to your website and eventually compete will pick up on it

I see many of you have very decent compete rank.
