    Obviously a lot of people use the overture inventory to decide what keywords to target. Does anyone know what the traffic ratio is between Google & Alexa, in terms of queries? i.e. Google gets 10x more, 100x more, etc...

    Thanks :)

    I rarely see visitors from Alexa. G is more than 200 times the traffic for me.

    Like Design Agent said, Alexa is not even on the map. I love it when someone try's to sell me links based on Alexa PR.
    Yawn

    Hmm... another quick q. I read somewhere that the Alexa toolbar demographic consists of more technical users, but I'm not sure if I believe that, I would have thought a lot of Alexa users are from Amazon? Any thoughts on this? :)

    FYI I'll be using this info to improve my keyword tool (in the tools forum). :)

    No, Alexa tends to show how often a webmaster looks at his own site :D
