I haven't a clue what it's in relation to.... but, it seems it would be in relation to ALL other sites because there wouldn't be over 52,000 sites having to do just with DXS, would there? Especially now that DXS is gone.

CuriousGeorge, Fancy42, and Fellow 4AllAccounts Members,

No, the Alexa Ranking is where a site Ranks in Alexa relative to ALL the sites around the world, about Anything!,

that Alexa has indexed/ranks.

However, it is purported that Alexa only "counts" "hits / visitors" from people that use an Alexa toolbar or plugin on their browser, so ...

It Helps! if you use the Alexa toolbar or plugin when you "surf" / participate here at 4AllAccounts, you know?!

Having said all of this ... an Alexa Ranking of 52,673, as I currently show for 4AllAccounts is Great!

I hope this all helps and Have a Great Day!

Hey ya'll! We're coming up in the world! We're 52,225 now!

Of course, Google places at #2!

How does the Google scale rank? Higher numbers better or lower?

Higher is Better in terms of Google Page Rank.

I hope this helps and Have a Great Day!

Hi Michael,

I'm surprised. I thought the lower the number the better.

I was under the impression that the lower the number in relation to ALL other web pages on the 'net meant that we would be ranked, for example, number 52,225 out of 6 billion web pages. If that were the case, that's not bad!

Am I to understand that this is how it is with the Alexa page ranking, but it's the opposite with the Google page ranking?

**CuriousGeorge** · September 18th, 2008, 11:41 PM

Guess everyone has their own way of ranking. Gets me confused.

TheVCF · September 19th, 2008, 01:16 AM

You are Exactly Right Fancy42!

with Google Page Rank, Higher is Better!
so the Best Google Page Rank = 10/10!

with Alexa Rank, Lower is Better!
so the Best Alexa Rank = 1!

And I won't confuse you all further by introducing Alexa's "Reach", "Page Views", etc. herein, at least for now, ok?

I hope this all helps and Have a Great Day!
