Sunny Bhasin Asked
Hey Harsh, today I got 170 visits to my first post and soon after that when I
was checking for alexa rank , it’s showing NO DATA
Please can you tell me what is the problem??
I’m very sure many of you when start a new blog doesn’t see alexa rank or stats. This is pretty normal and initial 4-5 days you may or may not see your alexa rank.
Once your blog is added into search engine or any link pointing to your blog, Alexa bots will quickly pick your new domain and you can see your alexa rank within no time.

Its a normal thing with alexa, I advice to check his stat tomorrow, he will definitely find a rank.
Very true Himanshu! Even I face a similar problem many points. There are many times when I am not able to see the Alexa rank for my website and suddenly after 2-3 hours i get a rank of about 1 lakh!
my friend have blog and i know he got more traffic than mine.. but when check with alexa i’m better than him.. what that happen uh?
I can understand why Sunny asked this question. Every blogger launches a new blog usually check the stats always. It just takes 4, 5 days to see Alexa ranking while it takes months to see the Google PR. Surprisingly when I see your Alexa rank, how can you do this in just a year?
Great content and superb marketing ! Right ?
Yeah, it is needed time to appears in alexa.
looks like ALEXA is bit surprised to see so many visitors to sunny’s blog in a day…..;-)
You should request alexa bot to visit on your website. If you website is very new.
It took me a month to get listed in Alexa. but still in 8 lakh position.
Hi Harsh,
One more question, one of my friend said that he has given a review about my blog on Alexa, but still is not reflecting there?
Do you have any idea why this happened?
Hi Harsh,
This is really normal on alexa I was also shocked to see the blank page on Alexa of my another blog.
But I realized that it is normal thing and it’d to non indexing of the blog in search engine.But when my blog url indexed in Google,soon Alexa shown the data of my blog.
Alexa is not accurate .. that’s the answer .. google page rank is far more superior try that
well alexa ranking is not accurate but there is no way to have a better ranking
Alexa is so inaccurate though, its only based on how many visitors come from computers with the Alexa Toolbar…
Where was this post when I first started blogging and checking Alexa rank? Haha this is an excellent post for any new bloggers looking into their Alexa rank.
I would say that any new blogger must use Google Analytics for the first month until their site is indexed and being found in search engines. Only then can they start to see their stats on Alexa.
Alexa is a great tool for knowing what is your websites status and where you are ranked.
I’m almost sure that he must be seeing his stats now on Alexa. As far as I can tell Alexa has been doing some “under the hood” tweaks since past couple of weeks and this might be an implication of the same. Moreover, considering that his is a fairly new blog, like George said above, he should perhaps wait a while before expecting to see any kind of meaningful stats at Alexa.
Alexa is a great tool as long as we know what we are doing with it!
Harsh, right from the beginning.. for my blog.. Alexa displays 13 as the sites linking in!
13 is pretty lucky for me I guess..
