ADVERTISEMENTS

Alexa Sparky is a Firefox Extension that put the Alexa right in your Firefox web browser status bar without interrupting your normal browsing routine. Alexa is a traffic tracking site, which is primarily used to rate and rank sites.

Sparky shows you Alexa Traffic Rank and Reach with a number and mini graph about the sites you visit while you are surfing internet. It also provides one-click access to Alexa’s listing for the site, Related Links, and more.

It works by recording all your browsing and sends it back to Alexa which then extrapolates that data to get an idea how many people visit your site.

Alexa Sparky Features:

• Sparkline – Sparky’s trendline feature allows you to track a website’s popularity over time, plotting the traffic rank for the last 4 months on a very small condensed traffic history graph. Gives you a quick view to show whether the site is moving up or down.



• Reach Meter and Traffic Rank – Sparky’s reach and rank features give you a quick overview of a site’s popularity. The blue bar gives you an overall indicator – is this site popular or not? The rank number tells you exactly how this site ranks in comparison to all other sites on the Web.



• Related Links – Sparky also comes with Alexa’s famous patented Related Links feature built right into the browser. Now, no matter what site you are on, Sparky can help you find similar sites.



• Shortcuts – Clicking on Sparky brings up a menu of other handy shortcuts, including Alexa Detail pages, Cached Pages, Search Pages and more. You can search for the site, find sites that link to it, see who owns it, where it is located, related links and much more.
