No Alexa Rating? | Help Desk | Yakezie Forums

If you signed up before purchasing a domain, then you won't have an Alexa rating since there was no site registered.  And, since you only have a domain and no actual site (and even more so no content), then there is nothing for anyone to visit, and no activity to be measured.

You need to establish an actual site with content, then you will start to get visitors which will then translate into a ranking.  If you haven't done anything as of yet, you should turn your focus from Alexa to building a site and once that is going then turn your attention back to statistics.

You may simply not have enough traffic to generate a ranking.  If you just registered the .com last night, you may just need to give the system some time to start recording the traffic numbers going forward.

Remember also that the number you see in the toolbar is a 3-month average.  That could have something to do with it as well.

For me it took about 2 to 3 months and mucho content to start getting a rating.

You can also sign up as an admin for your site on Alexa and fill in the details. That should ensure a quicker listing.

Sorta related question, how do we get the site reviews that show on toolbar?

download the alexa toolbar and use it to visit your site. it should be there the very next alexa ranking update, which is practically everyday. if you don't use the toolbar, then there is no hit. i believe that's how it works. so i think alexa ranking number is a bit skewed since not everyone uses the toolbar.

Thanks for all of your help and suggestions – I was more afraid I had copied the tag wrong or pasted in the wrong place.

But today, I finally got a rating!!

I signed up for Alexa about a week ago and still have no rating.  Last night I bought the domain name for my site and set up the new Alexa for the domain name, still says no data.

 

Am I being impatient? Does it take quite awhile to get a rank?  I was under the impression you quickly got a rank even if it was in the hundred millions…

 

Thanks for you help!

I guess you may be a bit impatient. And, as far I understand, you need not register to get a ranking for your blog in Alexa. Just keep posting on your blog and Alexa will follow you. Content is the key. Moreover, install the toolbar and this will help you. All the best ..
