Alexa Domains... what are they?

[toarlach]

What are Alexa domains? I have been searching for a definition of this, but cannot get a straight-forward, concrete answer.

What distinguishes an Alexa domain from a normal domain?

If someone could please provide some examples of some Alexa domains as well, that would be awesome.

Thanks! :)

I have never heard of Alexa domains, per se, though I do hear people discuss the relative merits of paying attention to the Alexa rank of a site. Since neither of us (apparently) can find any sort of solid references to an "alexa domain," perhaps the term is not actually in much use.

I've heard some people referring to their own domains as "Alexa" domains if they have enough traffic to show up in Alexa search. Other than that, I agree with MJ, probably not something with a valid definition.

Perhaps some mean a DN that is reported by Alexa; or, one that is not only reported, but there "claimed" by its owner.

I am quite sure there is nothing like "Alexa domains". Alexa is mostly use to compare traffic of two sites.

While there may formally be no such thing, the fact that some use the term does stand as evidence that there is something real being referred to, even if it's not always the same thing.
