i owned a tech blog.. i was anticipating that i am gearing towards 45000 ranking.. however sad to see i am ranked 340000 all of a sudden, and yet my mate who ran a political blog has his ranking up to 23000, which im pretty sure i have more traffic than him. Someone tell me, if alexa ranking is skewed now?

Sorry to hear you got burned – but, let the show go on!
I checked last night and I seem to have been unaffected – maybe I’ll have to go take another look. All the best and see you at the party!

It was a bit of a surprise. I still don’t fully understand Alexa’s vague explanation that lots of their user’s wanted their algorithm changed. From what I can see, a lot of users are not very happy one bit at all!

I saw mine go from 104k to 222k, so not as bad as some and not as good as others.

I was feeling pretty cocky, too as I’ve worked darned hard to get my score to that level. It’s a bit of an ego crusher to have this happen.

Maybe something nice will happen this weekend — like I’ll get PR finally (bwahhhaahhhaaahhaaahaaa!)

It’s crazy these damn algorithm changes. I mean I don’t really see the overall point in making it more difficult for everyone. It’s so discouraging especially seeing BIG drops.

But oh well, time to just get more determined :)

It stinks! My blog is fairly new but I was making quick and steady progress. This change just motivates me more. Upward and onward. I’m also looking forward to “the party.”

Well, I am not amused.

My 3-months average ranking was 37k-ish, now 166k-ish with 11 April 2008’s daily ranking at 1.8m-ish, the 1-week and 1-month ain’t pretty either.

Time to work out a different strategy to draw in traffic.

Marcus,

It looks to me like they purposefully lowered the rankings of all internet marketers & business bloggers.
It will come back and bite them.

Yeah, I assume we all dropped down quite a bit.

Now, while I was checking a couple pops of our industry, they ALL lost a good deal, too! So now I’m wondering who “won,” who climbed up the rankings? :-)

Thanks Marcus! I saw mine earlier and thought that my page would refresh from the previous site. I was patiently awaiting breaking the top 100 when…..WOW, back to the 200’s….yikes!
