Have to disagree, Alexa ranking is almost use-less and could be manipulated quite easily. It's ranking are only based on the people who are using the Alexa Toolbar or Sparky FF Plugin You can make it to the top 200K simply by viewing your own website with Alexa Toolbar installed in your system lol Note: Just want to add that Alexa Ranking have nothing to do with Ranking nor the Total UV's of the website.
Alexa is will based your rank with the people who have such toolbar that is visiting your site. Alexa is not that accurate but so far I agree with the top 10 most visited sites they had issued. I prefer you to use Google analytics it is much more accurate than Alexa
wew... my alexa ranks 750.000, but in my link 540.230. i think this is error, because that it is imposible to get to much link like that...
