Alexa Retiring?

[pornmafia]

Alexa.com has got to be worth a few million dollars

[tacnet]

If Alexa wanted the domain why did they wait so long,they should have bought it years ago, but who knows.

They did buy it in 1999 for $250 million. Then 14 years later they brought out the Echo devices calling it 'Alexa' aswell.

I guess it was only a matter of time as you cant have two two entirely different products from the same company with exactly the same name.

My guess is they will sell off the alexa data and the technology and just keep the alexa.com name for some future thing with their echo devices

$250 million or $2.5 million, that seems a lot for a domain.

Im not sure how reliable these will be either now. All this bot traffic is pretty much indistinguishable from real human traffic and if it can fool alexa then im guessing it can fool any of these ranking sites

These latest invasion of bots seem to fool every tracking and trade site I have seen.

Yep totally true. I cant tell what traffic is real and what is fake anymore

$250 million for Amazon is the same as buck, they have money coming out their ass.

If your rank was low you will be happy if you were in the top 100 then you will miss Alexa.

Alexa is going to be as important as icq was in trading, now it is Semrush and skype.

Retiring is not the word I use, dying is the right word.
