    Alexa rank will give you the rank according to traffic. It is important to measure the website traffic. Through alexa rank, we can identify our position.

    Unfortunately advertisers look at this to determine the value of your website for advertising value. It is flawed but you need to keep a good ranking unfortunately

    Yes, Alexa ranking also gives the estimate of your website.. but it also rank a website based on the traffic it gets..If you have good Alexa rank then you have the option to get good rank too..

    Does Google care about Alexa Ranking when it comes to seo or PR?

    Alexa is a famous search engine that provides extra information such as traffic rankings. An Alexa ranking is an indicator used to gauge site performance. But really Google does not care about Alexa ranking.

    Hi,

    I think Alexa Ranking would be a nice measure for traffic purpose just like PR from site value in Google's eyes. :) If you want to trade your domains, PR and Alexa would be essential factors about the value of domains.

    all the best,

    I agree with gusher08, though some people use alexa to manipulate the stats by faking website hits.

    I trust Google analytics more than Alexa... because Alexa ranking is easy to fake.

    Alexa is just like a mini search engine or search engine tool bar. Which can provide you all information about your site status. like keywords ranking, traffic etc. many way how to determine Alexa ranking.
    traffic rankings based on usage of Alexa Toolbar users only
    * may not be representative of the global Internet population
    * traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated traffic data from millions of Alexa users
    * combination of reach and pageviews
    * reach is number of unique Alexa users who visit a site each day
    * reach is expressed as the percentage of all Internet users who visit a given site
    * pageviews are the total number of URL requests for a site each day
    * page views are the average number of unique pages viewed per user per day by the users visiting the site
    * ranking is determined by a combination of users and pageviews
    * top level domains only (e.g. playtriton.com)
    * no separate ratings for subpages or subdomains

    Alexa’s Traffic Ranks are based on the traffic data provided by Alexa Toolbar users and data collected from other, diverse sources over a rolling 3 month period. Traffic Ranks are updated daily. A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of Reach and Pageviews. Reach is determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single Pageview.

    Alexa ranking is good tool for analytic. But it is not accurate. Number of links to the site mostly inaccurate. That's why I also wonder may be ranking for traffic could be stumbled numbers too.

    Alexa ranking! I don't think that they are important because I only consider Google ranking, if mu site is doing good in Google than it will be doing well in other places also.
