http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/dollarhauler.com The traffic on the site has probably gone up around 30-40% in the last week, but Alexa is saying we're almost in the top 100k sites for the 7 day average! According to our "Reach" statistics, Alexa says my traffic has gone up over 800%... Three days ago, I was ranked (for just that day) at 56,610... how is this possible? Am I just getting a bunch of people who have the toolbar installed all of a sudden? Analytics is showing ~150-200 people a day still...
Alexa is not at all an accurate tool to measure stats for your website or blog. Google analytic is the best way to keep track of the visitors. The jump you have seen maybe because of a change in algorithms adopted by alexa.
yes i am also thought that Google Analytics is the Best way to view Traffic Alexa is not the perfect to see the traffic overview.
I do agree analytics is the best and accurate. as alexa specifies the traffic on a website. when we are deciding site for offpage submission by using alexa ranking we can decide the traffic of the site. but if alexa is not showing the proper result then which option should we go to check the traffic(quality) of a site as in this case we can not use analytics.
