   1. Hi Vishal

      Thanks for the comment. Would appreciate if you could comment with your own name – we are all human after all!!

6. hello there..i just added alexa rating to my blog but its showing no data..plz have a look at my blog m i missing something..

   1. Hi Adam,

      I just checked your blog and I can see the Alexa widget! Try refreshing your page or visiting from a different browser.

      1. I don’t know Why My site is not showing alexa rank. I am using your code. Please see my site theexplode.com. I applied the code at footer side.

         1. Because “The Alexa rank widgets were retired on October 26, 2016.” but you probably already know it cause you posted this a few month ago. Anyway this answer is for others.

7. Thanks Pradeep, just added the widget on my site too can’t wait to see my alexa rank get better!

10. Got the solution thanks for the guide. Just placed alexa widget on my blog

11. Can alexa rank be shown on the free wordpress site also? As i have a free wordpress site, and i have added the html code of alexa rank in text widget, but nothing is shown there. Can anybody help me out?

    1. Hi Shivam,

       I have seen other WordPress.com users this issue. I don’t think WordPress.com allows external Javascript on their website. Here’s what I have found on their official pages:

       “Users are not allowed to post JavaScript on WordPress.com blogs. JavaScript can be used for malicious purposes. As an example, JavaScript has taken sites such as MySpace.com and LiveJournal offline in the past. The security of all WordPress.com blogs is a top priority for us, and until we can guarantee scripting languages will not be harmful, they will not be permitted.

       JavaScript from trusted partners, such as YouTube and Google Video, is converted into a WordPress shortcode when a post is saved.”

12. I have put the html tag on my blog widget area but it shows link only not stats. Pls check my site-

    1. Hi Prasenjit,

       The widget has Javascript code, and I guess WordPress.com doesn’t allow external javascript on their pages. See the above comment for more details.

       1. I read somewhere that the Alexa widget does not support https sites. Please advise.

          1. Hi Alex,

             That’s true as of now – Alexa’s official website mentions that their widgets do not support https.

             1. Thanks so much for the confirmation Pradeep. Awwww it’s so unfortunate I cannot use that on my site 🙁

                1. you can

                   just pull the data with php.
                   if you use wordpress:
                   first install PHP code plugin, this will allow you to insert php code anywhere on widgets area.
                   then inside the php widget insert this code:

                   <?php
                   $source = file_get_contents('https://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=snbamz&url=yoursite.com&#039;);

                   //Alexa Rank
                   preg_match('/\/si’, $source, $matches);
                   $aresult = ($matches[2]) ? $matches[2] : 0;

                   //Alexa Sites Linking in
                   preg_match(‘/\/si’, $source, $asli);
                   $alinksin = ($asli[1]) ? $asli[1] : 0;

                   ?>

                   don’t forget to replace “yoursite.com” with your domain

                   This way you don’t show your ranking but you get the benefits and improve your ranking, it has the same effect as the widget.

                2. <?php
                   $source = file_get_contents('https://data.alexa.com/data?cli=10&dat=snbamz&url=yoursite.com&#039;);

                   //Alexa Rank
                   preg_match('/\/si’, $source, $matches);
                   $aresult = ($matches[2]) ? $matches[2] : 0;

                   //Alexa Sites Linking in
                   preg_match(‘/\/si’, $source, $asli);
                   $alinksin = ($asli[1]) ? $asli[1] : 0;

                   ?>

    Arvind

55. i think alexa widget is not working anymore..! according the latest update by alexa, they retired the alexa widget in may 2016

56. Great info . But I have some questions; For about one week my site is on exactly same Alexa page rank, is this normal? Secondly I have been making some backlinks (mostly from social media sites and forum sites) to my website for two months, but they did not appear yet? I wonder if Alexa did not count those as backlinks or bots did not visit that pages?
    Thanks in advance…

57. Very good information !

    -Arvind

58. Thanks, rather than using a plugin to insert some code dynamically and made it load few miliseconds more, typing code in widget is more good idea.
