After previously Alexa allow you to create your own alexa toolbar with your Amazon Associate ID attached into it and of course with your own logo. Now Alexa showing a detailed information from which country your site visitors are coming from instead of just a standard graphic which i don’t find it useful (at least for me). And of course this is a really useful features and i’ve been waiting for something like this for quite sometime now :)

Here’s what the country statistics in Alexa looks like (i tested it on my site) :

Reaper-X.com users come from these countries:

United States 31.6%
Indonesia 15.2%
United Kingdom 7.6%
Croatia 3.8%
Australia 3.8%

Reaper-X.com traffic rank in other countries:

Indonesia 1,237
Croatia 21,873
Australia 74,268
United States 143,770
United Kingdom 147,058

Surprisingly the Alexa statistics show the same information like my own stats tracking page, and my google analytics account for the top 5 countries with the exception my own stats tracking showing Canada as the number 4 instead of Croatia :? ..

I don’t know which one is showing the correct results .. but at least for the other country they’re showing the same results :P .. but as a reminder, Alexa collect information about every site statistic from their toolbar. And almost every webmaster out there said that the Alexa results inaccurate

Making Money from Blog with Pagerank

Almost every webmaster already know about Google Pagerank. And thanks to it there are various opinion on whether pagerank should be used to judge a website value. Some of them are saying that the most important thing in a website is it’s content, while some other says that pagerank is the first thing to look when judging a website (indirectly, and the truth is i’m included in this category too :D )

And what about Alexa Rank ? .. well most people always said to not trust Alexa rank because they’re also not providing accurate result for your website statistic. And that’s simply because Alexa rank can be manipulated easily.

But let’s put that aside, shall we ? .. okay .. at first when i’m still building this website, my site didn’t have a pagerank (or at least it’s not appearing on the Google Toolbar or many other site that provides service to display your site pagerank), and of course with that status i’m having difficulty especially if i want to submit this site to various directory (although some of them are nice by giving a free link, but most of them require you to have a pagerank first), doing some link exchange, etc

But the worse part is, if you’re trying to monetize your site by submitting your site to various advertisers. They always check your site pagerank first (except for Google adsense of course, because adsense always accept any site as long as your website is using english language or any other language as long as it’s still supported by adsense), and some of them also check your Alexa statistic. And the results is, if your site doesn’t have a pagerank or low alexa rank .. you can be sure that they’re going to reject your website

And now what if your site already has a pagerank on it ? and even better your site get a pagerank of 4 and above ? Simple .. you can do various method to make money from it. But the easiest way is of course selling ad space on your site, such as text link or place the advertisers banner on your site. You can try offering your ad space from various online forum

But what if you don’t like or don’t want to advertise your site in every online forum by yourself ? It’s easy, you can simply join third party site that is automatically offering your site to various advertisers, and the best part is you don’t have to do anything because all you have to do is just wait. And for this part i recommend Text Link Ads (aff) because they’re the easiest and all you have to do is just placing their code on your site

Okay, that is all about using your pagerank status to make money from it, but please keep this in mind. Having a good pagerank status doesn’t guarantee your site will be making lots of traffic because Google pagerank value always changed (dynamically) although the toolbar value is only exported after several months at Google update
