This make sense but only for websites that are actually shared in social media (assuming you also pull Facebook, Twitter, VK, etc).

For other websites with high traffic but with less shares, this does not work (adult websites, tools, etc).

Hello, one of the developers here. What you said is not quite accurate, as our ranking algorithm will still rate websites with high popularity/traffic (Alexa Rank) even with no facebook shares / referring domains or any other metrics. They will not reach such high positions, but they will be ranked.

Makes sense. Following this thread, what do you think would be a good ranking strategy besides Alexa rank and social shares?

Definitely backlinks, number of referring IPs/domains is very big indicator of website Authority.

Besides that, UX factors like bounce rate, session duration, etc. are very good indicators as well.
