    Alexa only counts if you have people using the toolbar on your site.

    Yea. However any site that's Alexa of 5,000 or less, you can bet it's getting honest (non artificial) and big amounts of traffic. Alexa of 40,000+ is as useless as trying to install Windows Vista on Altair with no monitor. :)

    Alexa is not a good measure of Traffic for a site. It only gathers data from visitors who browse websites and use the Alexa Toolbar. Since DP is a webmaster forum, it has a very good Alexa Rating. Many webmaster related sites usually have a good Alexa Rank.

    If you are comparing DP against entertainment / game related forums then that's your answer.

    DP is therefore not over rated if they are the sort of forums you are comparing it with. The amount of ranking depends on how many users look at that forum that has the alexa toolbar in their browser. More webmasters are likely to have to toolbar than children that want to chat about games.
