Alexa that has been in the scenario almost from the start of the Web had seen immense growth and popularity and then a pretty morbid phase. However, it went back to the drawing board and sketched out new ways to pull back the company to steadiness. Several new innovations and changes have been made to Alexa since the time of its inception partly to stay in sync with the changing times and demands and partly to combat its competitors. As for example, till some time back the popularity of various websites was measured by the data collected from the users of the <a href="http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main/fortunehotels.in" rel="nofollow">Alexa toolbar</a>. However, the company went for a change in April 2008. Today other factors, apart from the Alexa toolbar, are also taken into account to determine the <a href="http://www.alexa.com/data/details/related_links/fortunehotels.in" rel="nofollow">popularity and traffic</a> of a given website. However, the point to ponder is that the “other sources” that are determinant of a websites <a href="http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?url=www.fortunehotels.in" rel="nofollow">Alexa rankings</a> are not clearly cut out. They are vague and misty. Nevertheless, Alexa is still one of the most credible and powerful players of the web. The journey of Alexa- The Web Information Company has never been a smooth one.

Trevor,

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t know if this company were trying to rip people off, they were simply over hyping their pitch and many customers will buy it.

However I’m sure there are lot’s of companies out there trying to make a quick buck and it’s a problem you face as an SEO consultant working in an unregulated industry.
