Alexa vs Search Results

YapYapOK  Alexa global Free UK Classifieds 175k  Free Ads UK 27k

Alexa is progressing now by hundreds rather than thousands.  I wonder how this translates if at all to search engine results.   Clearly Alexa is important since ad revenue is at a premium on well ranked sites.  Perhaps more necessary is the Google page rank, again I wonder if this translates into search results.

My logic, and everything I have read suggests that meta data, content and links are the most valuable assets in getting your site identified in search engine results.  Traffic will confirm its importance and the perpetual cycle begins.

High traffic is a definite factor in Alexa so I guess this is where there is correlation between search engine results and Alexa.  Anyone can get to page 1 of Google, we are for some terms.  These terms are just not looked for enough to bring reasonable traffic to your site. 

The key is to get to page 1 using a relevant but highly competitive keyword.  For us that is Free Ads where we are now at the bottom of page 9, so we have moved up by about 8 places since yesterday.  Page 9 may as well be page 100 as far as your visitors go, but it is only 80 positions or 8 pages away from pole position. If we attack this with the same tenacity with which we have Alexa ranking we will be there in no time.  Free Ads is a search used over a million times in Google alone 

Therefore I now need to priorities links associating Free UK Classifieds ( since this is the one closest to page 1) & content updates and hope that I will be rewarded with top page results, more traffic and untimately some great web real estate deserving of some premium revenue.

Wish me luck, or alternatively, enter Free UK Classiffieds into Google.co.uk and confirm YapYapOK as an important result by clicking on it.

Thanks
