How to get Alexa Widget for your blog (Update June 2014)

Do you encounter the missing page of the Alexa widget source? It happens to me when I want to get the widget for my website. When I see on the page that people usually get their widget code for Alexa it said that the page does not exist just like the picture below:

I thought it was a crash from my browser but I was wrong. When I search for this problem I found that there are a lot of blog owners that hard to find the page to get the Alexa widget. Glad that after I take a deep search I found a great solution on the internet so I can keep using the widget from Alexa on my new blog. Even though it’s not the final solution from Alexa because until now we still didn’t receive any solution from Alexa itself but I think it is a still useful solution for us to keep putting the Alexa widget in our blog.

How to get Alexa Widget for your blog and the Alternatives

So I found the direct code for the Alexa widget and those all work in my blog. So now I want to share with you the alternative to getting an Alexa widget for our blog. Below you can find many sizes of the latest Alexa widget. So you just need to copy the code that you want to use and put it on the widget on your blog. As I am using Blogspot for my server I just need to go through the layout and add a widget in a position as you wish to show.

Widget 1 Code:

<a href="https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/https://www.ri-techno.com"><script type="text/javascript" src="https://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/t/a?url=https://www.ri-techno.com"></script></a>

Widget 2 Code:

<a href="https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/https://www.ri-techno.com"><script src="https://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/s/b?url=https://www.ri-techno.com" type="text/javascript"></script></a>

Widget 3 Code:

<a href="https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/https:/www.ri-techno.com"><script src="https://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/s/c?url=https:/www.ri-techno.com" type="text/javascript"></script></a>

Just copy–paste the source code to your widget and change the www.ri-techno.com to your own website address. I hope it will help you out to add Alexa widget to your website and you can continue to add other things to your website!

Amazon Pulls the Plug on Alexa.com Service: What are the Alternatives?

I come bearing some news that might shake up your current website analytics toolset. If you haven't heard yet, Amazon has decided to discontinue its website analytics service, Alexa.com.

As someone who has relied on Alexa.com for website ranking and traffic data, I was disappointed to hear this news. However, as they say, when one door closes, another one opens. So, let's take a look at some alternatives to Alexa.com that might just be the solution we need.

Alternative to Alexa.com: SimilarWeb

SimilarWeb is a popular alternative to Alexa.com that offers comprehensive website analytics and competitive insights. Like Alexa.com, SimilarWeb provides website ranking and traffic data, along with detailed audience insights and industry benchmarking. However, SimilarWeb takes things a step further by offering data on app usage, mobile web traffic, and even offline behavior.

I recently tried SimilarWeb for my own website, and I was impressed by the level of detail and customization available. The dashboard is intuitive and easy to navigate, and the data is presented in a clear and visually appealing way. I particularly appreciated the ability to compare my website to competitors and identify areas for improvement.

Alternative to Alexa.com: Ahrefs

Ahrefs is another popular website analytics tool that offers a wide range of features, including backlink analysis, keyword research, and content analysis. While it may not provide the same level of traffic data as Alexa.com or SimilarWeb, Ahrefs is a powerful tool for optimizing your website's SEO and content strategy.

I have used Ahrefs extensively for keyword research and content analysis, and I have found it to be incredibly useful in identifying high-traffic keywords and optimizing my content for search engines. The backlink analysis feature is also great for identifying link-building opportunities and monitoring your website's link profile.

Alternative to Alexa.com: Google Analytics

Last but not least, we have the tried-and-true website analytics tool, Google Analytics. While it may not provide the same level of competitive insights as Alexa.com or SimilarWeb, Google Analytics is a powerful tool for tracking website traffic, user behavior, and conversion data.

I have been using Google Analytics for years, and I continue to rely on it for tracking my website's performance and identifying areas for improvement. The ability to create custom reports and dashboards is particularly useful for tailoring the data to my specific needs.

Conclusion

While it's never easy to say goodbye to a trusted website analytics tool like Alexa.com, there are plenty of alternatives out there that can provide similar or even better insights. Whether you choose SimilarWeb, Ahrefs, Google Analytics, or another tool entirely, the important thing is to continue tracking your website's performance and making data-driven decisions to improve your online presence.

I hope this article has been helpful in identifying some potential alternatives to Alexa.com, and I wish you all the best in your website analytics endeavors! As always, feel free to leave a comment or get in touch if you have any questions or feedback.
