On Thursdays I usually discuss Google and ways to get your website ranked at the top of the search engine.

Today I wanted to change course a little bit and talk about Alexa. If you're not familiar with the company, they've created a ranking system to help display how popular websites are in relation to each other. For example, YoungEntrepreneur.com is ranked 60,657 as of publishing time. This means that out of all the websites in the world, YoungEntrepreneur.com is the 60,657th most popular. A webmaster's goal is to get a low a number as possible because it shows the popularity of your site.
