Amazon has Retired Alexa SEO Tools

Do you know what Alexa SEO Tools is? Have you ever used Alexa ranking? Do you know why Amazon is shutting down its Alexa?

Today I am sharing everything you should know about the fall of Alexa SEO Tools.

What is Alexa SEO Tools?

Amazon is Retiring Alexa SEO Tools: eAskme
Amazon is Retiring Alexa SEO Tools: eAskme

Alexa was founded in 1996, and Amazon acquired it in 1999.

Alexa SEO Tools or Alexa.com is an all-in-one online marketing and SEO suite from Amazon.

In the beginning, Alexa.com was only a rank checker tool to check the popularity of the websites.

For years, people have used Alexa to check their global and local Alexa ranking.

Alexa calculates the rank of the websites based on the traffic measured by the Alexa toolbar, Alexa widget and Alexa verification code.

A few years ago, Alexa.com also launched a full range of SEO tools or services that can help marketers in SEO and online marketing of the sites.

How does Alexa calculate the Alexa Ranking of the websites?

Alexa.com is not a rank checker anymore. It has expanded to a full-fledged SEO marketing tool.

Yet, people have used Alexa.com is for Alexa ranking only.

Alexa rank displays the popularity of blogs and websites.

In the beginning, Alexa asked users to install Alexa Toolbar to collect Alexa rank traffic metrics.

Later, they introduced a script or Alexa widget that web admins can install to help Alexa collect impression and pageviews details.

But soon, people have started manipulation of Alexa ranking. Some sites are asking users to pay them to improve Alexa ranking.

Another issue with Alexa rank was that majority of the users are from Asian countries. This means that you will not get the exact status of your website's performance in countries like the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The popularity of other SEO tools like Ahrefs, Moz and SEMRush has also distracted people from using Alexa.com.

A lot of negative reviews and competition have decreased the popularity of Alexa.com.

Still, some people are using Alexa.com to check website ranking. But the user base is decreasing day by day.

Is Alexa a Complete SEO Suite?

If you do not know, it is a surprise that Alexa.com offers a complete set of SEO tools for marketers.

You can use Alexa SEO tools for backlinks checking, competition analysis, Keyword research, topic research, etc.

But, Alexa has not allowed people to actively access these tools, which is why Alexa SEO Tools has never made the headlines.

Even I had stopped using Alexa.com for rank checking years ago when I published "How to make money without caring about Alexa ranking."

Alexa's SEO Suite offered the following services:

  • Keyword Research
  • Topic Research
  • Find top publishers
  • Keyword difficulty checker
  • Content exploration.
  • Competitor analysis
  • Competitive content report
  • Competitor backlink checker
  • Competitor keyword metrics
  • Backlink checker
  • Organic Keywords
  • Site Audit
  • Paid Keywords
  • OnPage SEO Checker

When Will Alexa shut down?

Alexa has announced 1st May 2022 as the last date Alexa SEO Tools.

And, till now, they have not shared why they are discontinuing Alexa.com SEO Tools.

For years Alexa remained popular. But now people are forgetting about this tool.

Conclusion:

Like every other SEO tool that has failed to attract most of the audience, Alexa.com is also fading away.

There are many other SEO Tools and alternatives that you can use.

Here we are going to discuss, How to increase the Alexa rank of your blog?Lets see what other bloggers are suggesting how you can get rank below 30,000?

Use Alexa Widget and Create Superb Content (Doyan Wilfred)

Use Alexa widgets=18pxI have tried this long back when I started my blog. However stopped using it because I was not looking to make money out of advertisements.=18px. The first and foremost thing: Alexa only counts traffic from visitors who have Alexa toolbar, or websites with Alexa widget. You cannot make visitors install the toolbar, but rather you can install the Alexa toolbar on your site or blog.  Alexa has two types of widgets:

Also See : How to create Alexa widget for a website

Alexa Reviews widget: prompts visitors for reviews
Alexa Rank widget: Displays your rank. I recommend that if your blog is new, you wait till you reach a decent rank and then use the Rank widget.

Moral of the story: It all comes down to how useful your content is to the users. So create superb quality content. You can forget Alexa or any other sort of ranks if you don't have content.

Alexa (Philip Turner)

Alexa rank depends on how many users have the Alexa toolbar installed. Install it yourself and on all your family's computers. Encourage all your users to install Alexa.

Log on to your site frequently and give your users plenty of reasons to log on frequently.

I believe that everyone should submit website to alexa and verify it.

If you have any question, feel free to ask me.

Most common reasons behind decreasing of Alexa even when Traffic increase:

  • Alexa is not just about the number of traffic, its about the type of traffic your blog/website is getting. They only consider those traffic hits that come through their system that means traffic that come through those browsers that have installed Alexa toolbar or Alexa widget.
  • Your Blog/Website`s Niche is out of Alexa
  • Alexa rank increase well on Technology ,Internet Marketing ,Design blogs. But blogs related to Education, Health, Fashion Alexa rank doesn’t Increase.
