    You could manipulate Alexa VERY EASILY! From my experience, anything over 5000 is not accurate.

    Shoemoney,

    I totally agree with you .. I use alexa all the time..It gives some rough idea..

    I do know how to get better alexa ranking but I do not need to fool myself..
    Smart advertiser should not just depend on Alexa ranking...

    PS: Having alexa is better than having nothing ......

    Troy

    Yep - I'm starting to get contacts requesting ad space, citing our Alexa ranking - The funny thing is, none of our people use it.

    Our main competitor, who was ranking VERY much higher than us, but has 1/10th the content, and 1/5th the traffic, had ASKED all his users to DL the Alexa toolbar.

    Fortunately, we've surpassed his sad ass by doing things naturally. Good content, good links, good SEO, grassroots marketing, being a good neighbor.

    Sorry for asking but, who is Alexa?.... :D


    In addition:

    Have you noticed that you just bumped an old thread, which is not exactly what DP FAQ suggest?
