    I just read that google will use Alexa for traffic counting and google will use this info at search result listings.Is it true or not?

    Also if it is true also i read that if you visit a site using Alexa toolbar your site gets 5 points instead of 1 points so it makes ur site rise faster at listing.is it true also?

    I thought they are true and installed Alexa but my anti-spy program dont like it and alerting as Alexa is a spy.Is it really a spy?

    Also i read that if you put alexa code to ur site it makes ur site rise faster at listing

    the code is :

    <SCRIPT type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript' src='http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/t/a?url=www.sitename.com'></SCRIPT>

    is it true??

    p.s: this code shows your site Alexa ranking at ur site...

    Man, I think the only thing that's accurate in that post is that most spyware programs view the Alexa toolbar as spyware:)

    I guess if you read it on the internet though it must be true:rolleyes:

    Yep, Alexa is BS and doesn't influence Google rankings at all.
