    Alexa ranking is a total irrelevance to anything in real life.
    It bases its rankings ONLY on visitors that have their stupid toolbar installed,
    which anyone with any intelegence does not install as it allows Alexa to invade your
    privacy by tracking what you do and which sites you go to.

    The day Alexa introduces a similar system to Google analitics - ie a piece of code that the
    website owner can install in their page if they wish to then, and only then, will Alexa be
    recording true visitors and their information be of any value to anyone.

    Until then forget about Alexa and worry about your Search engine rankings.

    Install the toolbar on your own browser and visit your site a bunch of times

    I don't know why people bother about alexa rank. It's pretty much useless.

    Anyway, if it makes them feel happy ........

    At that level your site is not near business profitable but keep it up. That is VERY good for starting out so recently, whatever you are doing in SEO you are learning and making a good start. take alexa rank with a bit of salt because they can be inaccurate at high million ranking levels

    Alexa should partner up with Google so Alexa tracking is installed on Google toolbar, that would make their readings a lot more accurate.

    Yep, the problem with the Alexa rank is that it is only influenced by surfers with the toolbar installed. A smart surfer with a nucleus of Alexa surfing friends could really game the system so I don't think the rank is very accurate. That said, I do surf with the toolbar installed.

    I agree, also until recently Alexa wouldn't index sites in the xx,xxx,xxx range..I think they still do not index all sites. Anyone know of a way to tell what PR (pagerank) equals what traffic levels and rankings on alexa?

    Just visit your own site everyday. Alexa is only partly good and shouldn't be used as a definite site popularity measure.

    And what would this prove?
    It would still not be giving real information.

    Not everyone in this world is stupid enough to allow Alexa or Google
    to invade their privacy by installing the Alexa and/or Google tool bars.

    Therefore the number of visitors quoted by both sources is total crap,
    as it does not take into account those that visit the site that do not have
    the toolbars installed.

    I still say Alexa should have a similar system to google analytics that website
    owners can opt to install if they want to be included in the alexa ratings.

    I agree with lcwadminbj, the Alexa stats are definitely skewed toward webmasters and SEO ppl, since they are who care the most how their or other sites perform and therefore have Alexa toolbar installed

    When I got back to blogging, I noticed that my blog was low in traffic and alexa status since I don't do updates on it because I am very busy in my studies. When vacation came, I manage to push it inside 300k in just 3 weeks.

    That was a good result though. But the great part is that, there was someone who got an interest to but my blogspot blog. So, I sell it to him for $550 and I immediately switch to wordpress that I dreamed of... YEEEHEHEEEEYYYY....

    Don't rely on Alexa rank .. It is the worst thing I know . You can trick to get high rank. Try to get google pagerank =)

    why so many of you talking about fake traffic and alexa, if you don't buy fake traffic , it would not come by itself. otherwise, i can say, that Alexa tool are not bad, just by looking at Alexa keywords and Google Analytics, they are very similar. Speaking about Alexa number, then it's just a number. Deff, if you have lower number and u don't have fake traffic, then you are doing ok.
    It's funny, that u the one, who is buying fake traffic, and then blaming on Alexa tool, that it's showing that. Smart people will say: Use it, don't abuse it
