Let's test Alexa

    I think we should do a little experiment to see how accurate Alexa rankings are. Everyone post your average daily visitors as well as your alexa rank and we will see just how off they are.

    DON'T LIE ABOUT YOUR TRAFFIC!!! I know a lot of people exaggerate their numbers when trying to find link partners but if you do so here then it defeats the whole purpose of this experiment.

    Here is my info

    Alexa: 372,203
    Daily Average: 600 uniques

    Well one person is hardly enough to really get a feel of how accurate or in-accurate alexa is. Come on people post your stats.

    Hi ... 26 November 2007 to 2 December 2007 = 117,458 uniques; 3-month Alexa steady at 255,584; 7-day Alexa ranged from 204,000 to 235,920. Page views varied from 2.1 to 3.9, during the same period. Reach varied from .00025 to .0005. The data pattern is called unstable and unreliable. Still, the marks see it as tops. What can we say? Good idea, this thread, hope there's mega response.

    Alexa Rank: 247,401
    Google Analytics says that I'm getting 2,500 uniques per day.

    ..My Alexa ranking used to be so much better when I had the toolbar installed.. I also had some paid links that took me to under 100k on Alexa. Everything these days is natural traffic...

    Well, Alexa traffic rank isn't just about unique visitors is it? How about page loads, depending on the structure of the site one unique visitor might generate one or hundreds of page loads. Correct me if I am wrong, I would be more than happy if someone could explain to me how Alexa is working.

    Anyway here are my stats;
    Alexa rank: 188,711 (3 months avg)
    Unique visitors: ~150 per day

    Als have two sites around 120.000 Alexa ranking, one doing 20.000 uniques/day (a whopping 600.000 pageviews/day) only Dutch traffic and the other doing 2000/day (6000 pageviews/day) 40% Dutch traffic. I guess it doesn't count Dutch traffic too well :)

    Dutch people don't install the Alexa bar I think, at least not as much, so it doesn't count properly.

    I don't own the site, but since the data is publicly available...

    Alexa: Little better than 12,000 (3 month avg)
    Uniques Per Day: About 25,000

    Alexa ranking is 102,000 and average daily visitors is about 500 unique visitors.

    Do you believe that Alexa traffic does not give accurate result?

    Early this year I broke into the 100k of Alexa and as my site got more and more popular my alexa rank went down *boggle* I'm now barely in the 200K mark and my traffic has never been better.

    http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/occultcorpus.com?q=

    From what I can gather, the alexa rank means precisely jack. Though I'm not all that sure who jack is, but do suspect he's trying to sell his domain or at least some links...

    Daily average 500 :(
    Hits: 10000 :(

    Alexa Ranking: 1,393,327

    Note, I installed the Alexa toolbar to see if it was true what they say, right enough about 3 days later we went from somewhere in the 1, 600,000's to 1,393,327. Now, tell me that's not corruption at its best?

    I get about the same traffic levels as you, yet I'm more than 1,000,000 places behind you. LOL.

    Alexa is a horrible indicator unless it's a non-webmaster related site and the ranking is below 1,000.

    I have a non webmaster related site alexa rank in the 260,000 to 270,000 range with 3,000 daily uniques

    I have another non webmaster related site alexa rank in the 280,000 to 290,000 range with 2,500 daily uniques

    I have another non webmaster related site alexa rank in the 400,000 to 410,000 range with about 100 daily uniques

    I also have a webmaster related site alexa rank in the 40,000 to 50,000 range with not THAT much traffic, about 3,200 daily uniques
