What is Alexa Traffic Rank?

The worldwide traffic rank is a measure of how a website is doing relative to all other websites on the web over the past 3 months. The rank is calculated using a combination of the estimated average daily unique visitors to the site and the estimated number of page views on the site over the past 3 months. The site with the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews is ranked number 1.

website is typically defined at the domain level. For example, abc.com, omg.abc.com, and news.abc.com are all treated as part of the same site, because they all reside in the same domain, abc.com. Exceptions are made for personal home pages and other hosted sites, for example, bloggernib.com, which are treated as separate sites.

Alexa's traffic estimates are based on data from our worldwide traffic panel, which is a sample of all internet users. The panel consists of millions of internet users using one of over 25,000 different browser extensions.
