Once with Alexa’s new ranking system announcement, a lot of blogs have lost their rank. The reason is that Alexa is now based on more informations, not only the surfers that have Alexa toolbar installed. Now websites and blogs that had a tech savvy audience have lost rank, Alexa becoming more accurate and not advantaging them anymore.

A lot of popular websites and blogs have met a drastically decrease in rankings, like Problogger ( 3xxx -> 12xxx ), Digitalpoint ( 3xx -> 9xx ), Shoemoney ( 2xxx -> 19xxx ). I have also seen some not-so-major changes in my websites rankings, most of them going down a bit.

I see this changes as an improvement and hopefully Alexa will continue to become more and more accurate, because a lot of people and mostly advertisers are basing on this stats that, at least until now, weren’t relevant at all.

Find more rank changes on some blogs at Amit’s blog or you can read Alexa’s announcement.
