Alexa Rank vs Real Website Traffic

    Hi, does anybody know if there is some way to estimate real website trafic as function of alexa rank? I saw many sites that claim their traffic "xxxx visitors/per day" but alexa rank is 700,000+. I have website with about 400 visitors per day and its alexa is about 350,000. Any suggestions?

    For alexa rank, if the nubmer is bigger than 10k, it's useless. I only got 50 unique visitors/day, but my alexa rank is 210961. While my friend has 200K unique/visitors per day, his alexa rank is only 45000.

    Because lower the alexa - Better.

    But anyway alexa is can be manipulated easily.

    Alexa is based purely on the people who visit websites with an alexa toolbar

    Therefore it is very inaccurate and should not be used to judge traffic
