    No, not THAT Alexa but the other one that’s cherished by the SEO community

    This article was update to clarify that Amazon is ending the original Alexa service, known as Alexa Internet.

    "Twenty-five years ago, we founded Alexa Internet," the site's blog psot read. "After two decades of helping you find, reach, and convert your digital audience, we’ve made the difficult decision to retire Alexa.com on May 1, 2022. Thank you for making us your go-to resource for content research, competitive analysis, keyword research, and so much more."

    Amazon has not added any further information on why it is closing Alexa.com, but there’s at least two main reasons why. First, the obvious fact that the "other" Alexa needs to live on its own domain name and has grown big enough to justify this. 

    Secondly, Alexa, the internet service provider, now operates in a super competitive marketplace where the likes of Similarweb, Ahref, SEMrush, Moz, AWR and other rank checking services and SEO tools offer more comprehensive services at an aggressively fast cadence.

    At the end of the day, Alexa has done its time, and after 25 years, it deserves to be sunset. The Alexa Rating no longer means anything - with this Google Trends graph, highlights this better than anything else.
