I'm convinced: Alexa is not important

alexa was never important and it will never become important in future.

 

Personally I don't know why you did an experiment. If you have a toolbar and visit your site you are bound to increase your rankings. Alexa is inaccurate and always has been, but they are still good to use for some things.

 

Even i don't consider the Alexa ranking as it only counts the hit of those machine which have alexa toolbar.

it is not at all usefull.

Even I have read so many articles about the same.

 

Personally, once I found that all of their data came from the toolbar alone their importance plummeted. Maybe they will improve by partnering with another algorithm.

 

I love seeing postings of people who put great value on Alexa Ranking as a determiner for buying, or the price of a domain.
It's like watching a puppy that has seen his reflexion in the mirror for the first time.

 

People on this very forum are selling 10k hits by a bot using proxies to boost their alexa ranking which they claim will encourage frequent search engine spider visits.

Even I, when buying traffic, I check their alexa ranking even though I know its not 100% accurate.

its reputation proceeds it.

 

It took you this long to realize it?

 

I've never put any worth in Alexa - its not a widely used tool since your ranking and the "success" it implies is largely dependent on Alexa's own success in spreading their plugin around the net.

I guess for someone who really wants to look at it in depth it could be interpreted comparatively, but... meh...

 

Rich,

Glad to see you are quantified in our program

The only thing I uses it for is to estimate traffic on different websites.
