Lost Alexa Ranking When I converted to a .com
-
Hello! I got the dot com status/ domain yesterday, and today my Alexa ranking is 11 million + (from 298,000). This ruins my ranking in a lot of astrology aggregator sites–which I’m not happy about. Any way to let Alexa (or anyone else) read the .com as the old site (juliedemboski.wordpress.com)? Thanks–
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Nope–my stats page shows old Alexa rank, blog itself (with .com as primary) shows new one. Only bought the domain as it was required for AdWords application–won’t be worth it if I’m turned down for that, based on in part the low rank

Alexa ranks are not as reliable as Quantcast which is what WordPress.com uses. All of our free hosted blogs are quantified.
Page rank and authority via Google and Technorati are not transferable to your domain. They belong to the URLs that earned them ie. the original URLs. Your domain must start from “unranked” and your content must all be re-indexed by the search engines under the domain URLs. For about 4 – 6 months there will be URLs to the .wordpress.com subdomain URLs until the re-indexing is done. Then, all things remaining equal your domain will reflect the same pagerank and authority that the subdomain previously had.

You’re welcome. What I didn’t state was:
(1) Purchasing the domain mapping upgrade simply assures that when the .wordpress.com subdomain URLs are clicked by visitor tor they will be seamlessly redirected to the same content under the new domain URLs.
(2) On the admin side of your blog what you will continue to see is original .wordpress.com subdomain URLs and that’s normal. -
