Alexa is a U.S.-based company managed by Amazon. Millions of websites are regularly scanned by Alexa and their popularity ranking is created. Alexa rank is a measure of the popularity of websites. In the Alexa rank, Google ranks first, Youtube ranks second, and Facebook ranks third.

Alexa is the first independent traffic ranking service and has been a valuable tool for websites since its inception.

Alexa rank indicates how a website performs over all other sites. This makes it a unique solution for comparison and analysis.

Alexa rank is calculated using a special method that combines the estimated traffic of a site and visitor engagement in the past three months.

Alexa ranks separately for countries as well as world ranking for websites. For example; Hepsiburada is 447th in the world and 6th in Turkey. While Trendyol is 473th in the world, it is 9th in Turkey. While Hürriyet ranks 515th in the world, it is 12th in Turkey. Google ranks first both in the world and in Turkey.

Alexa rank also provides important information about companies. You can get information about the popularity of the company by checking the Alexa rank of the companies’ websites. The Alexa rank can be between 1 and 20 million. These values ​​can be interpreted as shown below.

Extraordinary (100,000 or less)
Excellent (100,001 to 1,000,000)
Pretty good (between 1,000,001 and 2,500,000)
Medium (2,500,001 to 5,000,000)
Poor (5,000,000 to 20,000,000)
Invisible (“Not enough traffic data”)
