About Alexa

I get a decent amount of questions about the whole Alexa ranking thing so I figured I'd make a post to explain it.

Here's a not so brief explanation from the Alexa people themselves but all I really know is that it's a basic way to rank a site and "big fish" bloggers are all well UNDER the million mark and I liked it.

If you want to determine a bloggers ranking, it's easy to do.

First, go to www.alexa.com.

You'll see a screen like this:

Type the address of the blog you're interested in finding the ranking for in the search bar up top and click the Search button.

Then this screen will pop up. (I used Bossy for this example because I love her.)

The ranking will show up right there where I circled in the picture. :)

But for the Little Fish award? You don't have to do all that. Just go ahead and nominate a blog and I'll check it for you!
