    I've never trusted Alexa. I definitely agree, people rely on it too much.

    Isn't it a known fact that the numbers can be artificially manipulated?

    Unless you're in the top 500 or perhaps top 1000, I wouldn't consider it to be accurate or use it as a measure of your website's success.

    alexa toolbar and the stats is not all that accurate, but then we all feel a lot happier when we see the alexa ranks improve. once you get below the 10000 mark, you can really trust the rank, other wise it is pretty much manupulated!:rolleyes:

    To be honest, I never really trusted the Alexa toolbar.

    Don't even bother with the Alexa toolbar unless you are looking to inflate your numbers.
