    I think both are important, PR is high with good Alexa is the result of an assessment of the quality of your website.

    When it comes to websites and blogs, rankings are very very important. With millions of sites worldwide, search engine rankings is an important aspect to determine the authoritativeness of a website. There are two types of online rankings that are very valuable to the search engines - the Google page rank and the Alexa rankings.


    Now, if you want your site or blog to get to the number one spot on Google or Yahoo on your chosen keyword, you have to work hard on your search engine optimization campaign. Together with your SEO effort, you can potentially increase both page rank and Alexa rankings. But, which one will you depend on when it comes to your site rankings?


    Alexa rankings mainly focuses on your website traffic. You get your rankings from the quality of traffic you get. While page rank highly depends on your website's back links. The more back links your site has, the more you rank in the search engine result pages.

    Now which is better? Some so called Internet marketing gurus are preferring Alexa rankings because it generally tells you your traffic net worth. Others prefer page rank because they only care about getting in the number one spot in Google. But is it much better if you aim for both rankings?


    Yes, if you like to mazimize your website or blog potential, you have to excel in both Google page rank and Alexa rankings. Both rankings are important gauge in determining a website's earning potentials such as advertising worth and trustworthiness of your web pages.


    Now, we know that to be able to get a high page rank, you have to build more back links. How about in Alexa? Alexa is much simplier to understand and only depends on your site traffic. Some webmaster just simply installs the Alexa toolbar and see your ranking improves within a week. While this trick obviously work, you are also tricking yourself with your own traffic statistics. It is much more ideal to get your Alexa rankings improve in a much more natural way.




    Blogs stands out when it comes to Alexa rankings. Why? Because blogs are a network of website working together. The more you market your blogs through blog roll and blog networks such as blog catalog, you will be able to acquire a lot of traffic without building enough back links. This will result to higher rankings in Alexa.


    Another thing is that, content can help you increase both page rank and Alexa ranking. Quality and original content of blogs can defy website when it comes to rankings. Search engines love new content thus helping your site appear in many search phrases and queries. Content will help you in the search engines and it will work much better together with your Alexa rankings as well.


    Either of these two rankings will definitely help your Internet business one way or another. It both has advantages so improving your website or blog rankings will increase your potential online income.

    Both are important. They represent different aspects of internet. Alexa ranking refers your traffic and Google page rank refers your site link popularity. Alexa rank can be manipulated but it’s hard to manipulate Google page rank.

    Google pagerank is something which is achieved over a period of years, which means higher the pagerank the more reliable the website is. Where as in alexa its about the number of visitors a website gets in a period of time, so as far as visitors are concerned alexa can show the results and pagerank comes into play when we talk about site reliability or for that matter dependability!
    Here the comparison is between pagerank and alexa which is not advisable...
    The comparison should be between mozrank and pagerank... or Alexa and compete
    As the compete and alexa show the results about visitors and mozrank and pagrank on the similar pattern of website structure, reliability, authority and things like that... Hope this you understanding the difference :)
