    You cannot ignore rankings and other information about a site on alexa. They might not be that accurate but can give you a pretty fine idea about website's traffic details if the stats of that particular website are not public.

    Means nothing to me. I don't even pay attention to it. Only thing that I watch is SERPs.

    colossus.net has a PR of 4 and a very high alexa ranking. It was a web hosting site for about a decade but it's gone now. Good enough example?

    It's true the top alexa sites will have high PR, but you've got it backwards. I was not shot because I was bleeding, I'm bleeding because I was shot. The high PR sites end up with traffic, resulting in a higher, natural alexa rank.

    Hello friend,

    The importance Alexa ranking is the estimate of website visitors Alexa will multiply the number of visitors by a specific margin to estimate the total number of visitors that a site may receive.

    For what it's worth, I don't bother with Alexa. I just keep an eye on my visitors per day (average).

    There is the Reach section in the Alexa Traffic Stats, which shows how many different people visit your site. If only you and your friend would visit your site, then the reach would be very low, and advertisers would know that your rank is not genuine. Thus in order to have good rank and quality reach, you should have as many different visitors as possible.

    alexa rank is important if you act as a publisher or selling your site/domain. Thus there is demand for services to boost it.

    Hello friend,

    Alexa tracks website's traffic history and gives ranking based upon number of visitors using Alexa toolbar.it helps webmasters and advertisers see the true marketing potential of your website.

    that's not true. alexa ranking has no effect on google ranking .alexa is just a way to have an idea of how much traffic a site gets. it is not accurate .sites that have more US visitors will rank higher,because those have more alexa toolbar installed . alexa is based on the number of toolbars installed.if a visitor doesn't have the alexa toolbar installed,it will not count for alexa ranking
