    I don't get alexa. I know not to trust them since it can't be real reliable, but I own a lot of sites and some do good with alexa, within mid xxx,xxx to low xxx,xxx

    I also have some sites that are still in the 1 mil zone, but those are sites that are still under construction (though I have a lot of exposure with one of those sites)

    The reason I don't get it is because I see people on this forum selling sites that have alexa traffic rank of 30,000,000 and saying it gets 5k unique views a day, I think they are bullshitting but still dont get it.

    The sites I have in the 1 mil zone get about 50 uniques a day.

    The sites I have in the mid to low xxx,xxx get a few thousand uniques a day.


    Can somebody please clarify?

    They are obviously lying, while Alexa is not very accurate, I think the odds are great that quite a few people out of 5k people would be contributing data to Alexa. I mean mine is 406k and gets only like 130 hits a day if that...

    While (like I said, and you know) Alexa is not very accurate, you can at least check the remote validity of how much traffic they get, so if they say they get 5k uniques a day, and they have an Alexa of something that high, its no doubt a lie.
