There are speculations about the Alexa Rank will be increased by putting a widget on your website. To test the rank of Alexa by putting the Widget on a website, we have placed the widget on one of our Cients website. Earlier the website had a rank of 120,000 Alexa Rank. We have continued the widget for a fortnight. We thought the Rank will fall into below 100,000, but for our surprise the rank increased to 135,000. Even there was a growth in Google Analytics but the Alexa Rank increased a bit.
The bottom line is Alexa Widget just shows the Rank of the website and wont count the number of visitors. And the fact is its just takes the people who visited the website with Alexa Toolbar installed.
