    Has anybody heard of an algorithm to retrive the Alexa Rank of a page? Screenscraping is one option, but that is always so bloated.

    Does this still work for anybody else? They might have started blocking my IP address.

    Still works for me... figured it was only a matter of time, since that's specifically what they sell access to. ;)

    I really don't get it. Why does anyone care about alexa? What am I missing here?

    Not much. But people obsess about all kinds of crap on the Internet. We should start a list of useless crap that people obsess about.

    Here is a starter list:
    1. PR
    2. PR bled
    3. Keyword density
    4. Alex rankings
    5. Google PR/BL update
    6. Exact time to the second of Google's caching of a page
    7. Number of visitors your competitor gets

    Sounds like somebody is getting cynical in his old age.

    So Bob, am I OK not to be concerned about one of my sites having nearly 50% keyword density on some pages?
