I am using Alexa's API (the URLInfo
function) to check the Alexa Rank of some domains. This works well for most URLs, however when I use a URL that is too new to have an alexa rank, it instead returns to me the alexa rank of the main domain.
For example, when checking http://example.blogspot.com
or http://example.wordpress.com
, etc, If the domain does not have an Alexa rank, it instead returns the Alexa rank of http://wordpress.com
and http://blogspot.com
respectively.
Is there any way to avoid this from happening?
