    I was wondering if i should post this thread in web directories or all other search engines... but i guess Alexa is a tool of some kind so i will post my thread here. Sorry if i am wrong.

    So my question is about Alexa rating. I have site with rating 1 000 000 and have about 300 unique visits a day. I know sites that have 1-4 000 unique visits every day and still are 2 500 000+ in Alexa.
    The other day i come across a site with Alexa 400-450 000 which had around 400 users visiting the site every day.
    And today i saw a site with Alexa 150 000 which had around 150-160 users visiting every day... SO my question is how does that happen?
    And what to do to put my site in Alexa top 100 000. I dont need guides i just want to know is there a minimum of users every day i must have to be in Alexa top 100 000 or what?

    p.s. i found another site with 500 000 unique visits every day and it had Alexa rating 5 000 :). Another with rating of 99 900 had 4-5 000 unique visitors every day...

    Thanks in advance for answering!

    Another question to add is how to get an Alexa Key for your website?

    Alexa takes stock of how many times a site was visited by using their browser ad on and monitoring the number of times that everyone visits a site. Most people don't have the alexa toolbar so it is not accurate. Alexa is mostly used by webmasters so the sites that webmasters visit more often will have a higher alexa ranking even if they aren't visited as much as other sites.
