    alexa is more traffic focused.....quite like birds eye........google ranking is much detail from root to structure to on page to off page.

    Hi!!!
    In simple words Alexa ranks means how much the site is popular in terms of unique website visitors.Google page rank means the importance of that web page with respect to Google.i.e more page rank the site is trusted or the link is popular over the internet.I think Alexa page rank is most important
    Thanks!!

    Alexa rank is depending upon number of visitors visiting the site...if the visitors increased then Alexa rank also will be increased. Where as Google PR is depending upon ..PR of inbound links.

    it's the difference between a cucumber and a crayfish.

    Alexa makes a guesstimate on traffic based on visits from people with the Alexa toolbar. It's an estimate, it's not an accurate measure and should never be taken as such.

    Google ranking - what do you even mean?
    PageRank is one part of the Google algorithm, largely based on backlinks - the quality of them and the qunatity.

    Ranking in serps is determined by an algorithm that uses over 200 factors to ascertain relevance to a query.

    None of these have got anything to do with Google Analytics - did you actually have a question about Google analytics?

    Alexa Ranking is consider on traffic ranking, google ranking is base on PR of search result. It is two different thing.

    Alexa ranking is based on your site's traffic (but only works and counted with pcs with installed Alexa toolbar). While Google ranking is based on several mixed-up factors of quality and relevance of a web page to a searched-query

    Alexa is based off of links and unique page views and analytics is mainly designed to help the site owner expand their traffic for the websites they manage.

    Google algorithm uses many factors and not just a few to decide the ranking you get on the results page(SERPS). There is no doubt about that. That figure 200 is just an assumption.

    It's not an 'assumption', it's Google's own description
    "Today we use more than 200 signals, including PageRank, to order websites"

    Alexa rank depends upon number of visitors on the site. Google PR is depending upon AVG PR of inbound links.

    Alexa rankings considers only that sample of visitors who have the tololbar installed. Wheras Google PR depends on backlinks. When some one links from Page A to B , then Google interprets it as 'Page b is important'

    Alexa is more related with traffic while google ranking is much detail from root to structure to on page to off page. It's the most common difference.

    Alexa Rank is a relative measurement on how popular a web site among the Internet community.
