    Check it out!

    After seeing no updates for anybody since May 19th, Alexa now is showing May 31 data.
    It looks REALLY GOOD for me!
    How about you?

    MODs!
    Alexa postings are everywhere, since there is no Alexa forum. Alexa posts can logically be placed in various forums such as General Business, General Marketing, Other Search Engines, Reporting and Stats, Traffic, etc. For organization purposes, it would be GREAT to have a single, defined forum for Alexa. Watcha think? Thanks for listening.

    Alexa rankings are about as valuable to making money as Google PR is. Really doesn't matter...

    Your are right, it doesn't make you any more money.. however a lot of webmasters still do check this information. Ive been asked before on many occasions before someone purchases from me. Just not everyone cares, some do.. But your right, it's just as worthless as PR..

    Google PR is crap really.. I think it's worst than alexa.. I could have 1 backlink thats a PR6 and get like a PR4 at least.

    lol that's actually true. I saw a PR 5 site with one backlink from a PR 6 site - no other backlinks. Funniest thing I have seen regarding PR. :D

    Alexa has been trying to update their algo, but it`s still pretty useless.

    Dear Fellow webmaster ..

    Tell me one good reason so that I can understand that looking on Alexa rating is not wastage of time !!!!!
    (while most of the firewall, antivirus, antispyware call Alexa toolbar as spyware / adware) :p
    (while one can really affect own ranking just by asking 4-5 friends to install alexa toolbar and surf own website)

    :)

    Its amazing - people are actually happy that one of the largest spyware sites on the internet is back up and running? I thought people were usually happy when spyware was removed?

    Use directly measured stats, its much more reliable.

    Quantcast - http://www.quantcast.com/

    Google analytics - http://www.google.com/analytics/

    Having spyware installed on peoples computer is nothing to be happy about. Alexa only tracks sites through infected computers. Its really sad that people promote this type of unethical behavior.

    In case no one told yall, spyware = bad.

    Mine did increase over time, there new algo is definitely better than the old one. As for example, Dp have been constantly dropping and they should, in terms of traffic they don't deserve being on the top two thousand or fifteen hundred in my opinion and it used to rank 250 only once.. Keep it up Alexa. I love Dp though, absolutely love this forum. However, I like it fair and hence my comment here. Don't be offended everyone.

    And those saying alexa is a spyware must have been drinking.

    Alexa may not be the smoothest tool on the internet..but, for those they say it's worthless - it just depends on what you use it for. For me, when buying/selling sites, Alexa gives me a quick glance at GENERAL traffic trends.

    I don't take it for anymore than face value, but you can't argue me wrong that a site with a 13k Alexa ranking will almost always sell for more than one with a 100k+ (Just an example). So there are still plenty of people who use it to gauge certain aspects of a site.
