“Super bad bad suggestions to kids of all things!”

Two commercials from alexa. One says act like you paid attention in class-ask alexa Other one says 3rd grade math is hard, ask Alexa. All I can say is wtf is the company thinking?! Making our kids stupid and cheating instead of actually learning and doing the work?! Alexa needs to go down!

I just wanted to tell my story about how Alexa helped me access medical assistance from my daughter who lives 4 1/2 hours away... Her husband had purchased, set up, and linked my device to their's so I would be able to access there home.
I have been having mobility issues so I was attempting to bring my coffee cup (with some coffee in it) to my kitchen sink... unforturnately I had lost my footing and my knees gave out and I fell on the floor... I wasn't sure what to do... I didn't know what time it was and how long I would have had to lay there on the floor til my husband got home, and that was if he didn't have to work late. I called for help from downstairs not knowing if anyone was home... I was not able to get up because of my leg issues and I was not able to get up on my knees due to medical issues with them too.
I scooched and dragged myself into my living room and was going to see if I could get to my phone or yell for help again cause our porch door was opened and kids were walking home from school so if I yelled again I hoped someone would send me help... I scooched and pulled myself a little further and then I remembered about my Echo device with Alexa... I yelled: "Alexa, announce"... I waited for it to respond to say my announcement... at that time I yelled "Heather, I fell and I need help. I cant get up and get my phone"... so I waited to see if there was a response from my daughter... 4 minutes went by and there was no response, so I decided to give it a try again. I then activated Alexa again and said "Heather, I fell, I need help, and I need you to call dad"... OMG she responded at that time (she has it linked to her phone and she was in her grocery store and got a notification about the Alexa. She said "do you need me to contact 911?"... I said yes, I fell, I can't get up and my phone and then call dad"... about 2 minutes later (but it seemed like forever) she responded back: I got ahold of Saratoga County EMS and they are sending an ambulance and now I will try and get ahold of dad"... unfortunately as he was going to answer his phone it had died (he didn't hear the first call because he was around loud equipment)... he was able to get his phone to the charger and he got a call from Saratoga County EMS and let them know what was going on and the Chief of Police went to my husband and told him again and asked him if he wanted him to take my husband to the house... I am so thankful for the Echo Alexa and I was able to get help from my daughter (4 1/2 hours away) and it saved me from laying on the floor for I had no idea how long cause I wasn't able to see a clock... as a matter of fact is probably would have been around 2+ hours... Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.

I think most of these reviewers have Alexa.com confused the cloud-based voice service. Alexa.com is probably one of the most accurate and well-designed analytics platforms for marketers and small businesses looking to fuel their online presence. I am crazy excited to see what the future holds for Alexa.com. Highly recommended for agencies and individuals alike.

Alexa.com has an enormous amount of data available for any webmaster to validate their website. I recommend using alexa.com when promoting your site.

Another great website tracker.

-Use this link: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo

1. Who visits the site
2. Which 'site' directed users there
3. Rank, world and US
4. Keywords used
5. % found by search engine (targeted) vs linked-in traffic via similar info sites
6. Time spent on the site by individual
7. Pages viewed per person

* Also additional services for businesses. Frankly, these tools are 'Business Intelligence' and just as important as good accounting, financial analysis and database management software. If one doesn't use 'Project,' or something like it, the 'business' will be at a competitive disadvantage. It's the only way to maximize 'labor unit' efficiency Life was better before the 'computer,' imho - way easier life, but must adapt or die.

If one doesn't like website info, eg, doesn't feel right - you may be right. Go with your gut and learn more about the 'owners' core beliefs.

Alexa is one of the best ways to see what's the highest/most visited site on the Internet today. They offer a lot of free tools that can be used to check the status of your website. My favorite feature on alexa would have to be the audience demographic results. It breaks down into categories like age, gender, education, has children, and browsing location.

There is also an advanced feature of the audience demographic results, but you have to download & install their toolbar to see the results. The only difference is that they add income and ethnicity to the list of results

Alexa is the number one provider for statistics of the best websites available, it's no wonder that people rely on them for information. With the ability for people to leave reviews and for people to view traffic information, it is another great source, like sitejabber, of information for people looking to find valid websites.

Hi,

Welcome to my latest review, i'll be talking about website research, competitors and stats. We use search engines everyday that means data's being collected. There are a few places where such data can be found. alexa.com and quantcast.com There both very similar in nature and one would do well to use both respectively. Quantcast has a slightly more cleaner feel about it in saying that alexa have the better layout of the two but thats just me. I have a graphic design background perhaps that offers some insight. Another site I'd like to mention is Googles Doublick now it's by Google so be weary never the less it is relevant and extremely useful they are still number one and i don't see that changing any time soon as far as algorithms and relevancy go in relation to social networks which are based on where you are? Are you alive? Who are your friends? And what are your interests, syndicated networks, i'm talking about Facebook sorry for derailing but heres some food for thought.

"Our bodies are designed with the flaw of wanting to be crackheads. And manipulating that flaw is partly how you get 500 million users"

Anyway add Doubleclick to your research list. Heres there about us statement which i urge all reviewers and consumers to read when ever looking into a site or embarking on a business venture. Also add Googles Insight to the equation another tool of importance but i'll leave that out in this review.

Google's DoubleClick products provide ad management and ad serving solutions to companies that buy, create or sell online advertising. The world's top marketers, publishers, ad networks and agencies use DoubleClick products as the foundation for their online advertising businesses. With deep expertise in ad serving, media planning, search management, rich media, video and mobile, our DoubleClick products help customers execute their digital media strategy more effectively

Having these sites at our disposal and for the most part free gives you the power to monitor, improve with site audits which you pay for, precise research, counter intelligence and much much more. Tracking your competition is important especially for young and up coming sites. The point of this review is, research needs to have an articulate body that in end helps you reach a conclusion and point of direction. I think the tools i've mentioned do that and are primary. Thanks for reading.
