"<p dir=\"auto\">There are several methods used by Alexa to collect data about your site.</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">1. The Alexa crawler. It can be blocked using robots.txt as follows:</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">User-agent: ia_archiver<br />\nDisallow: /</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">2. Alexa analytics. Similar to Google Analytics, simply remove the code from your site's web pages and Alexa would no longer have access to this data. This method only applies if you have installed Alexa Analytics code on your site.</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">3. Alexa toolbar. The toolbar is installed on user pc's. It tracks all web traffic by users. In order to prevent this tracking, a user would either need to uninstall the toolbar, change a setting on the toolbar, or block traffic to Alexa. These form of data collection is a primary source of information for Alexa, and is why Alexa data is relatively unreliable.</p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">There is not any reasonable step you can take to prevent this form of data collection.</p>\n"
