Is your Alexa ranking used by google?

    I have the Alexa toolbar installed and I noticed that the Alexa ranking of sites appears in google alongside the link entries. So, I'm assuming I can see these because of the toolbar being installed, but is there any other connection between Alexa and Google? Does Google use the Alexa ranking in any way?

    Not at all. It's just normal that the higher a site is listed in Google the better it is and the more traffic it gets. After all those points it's normal that the first websites usually have a much better Alexa ranking than the last ones ;)

    Ok, thanks guys. I just noticed the Google Analytics ad placed alongside my original post. I had to smile.

    Why should Google use Alexa rank?

    Alexa has nothing to do with Google. I don't think anyone takes in consideration the Alexa rank anymore.

    No Alexa is not relevant.

    No, Alexa ranking is different. This is not related to good analytics.
