    I have one website with pr3, alexa under 100k and uv/day 1-5 :)

    pagerank and alexa can give at least some king of knowledge if website was promoted or not and how much.

    Most important is targeted traffic, and it coming from search engines, where you need to have rank for your keywords.

    They are both pretty useless, but people focus on pr more than alexa ranking, because that shows authority in Google. Serp Rankings are more important than both of them

    I think people give more importance to PR as compared to Alexa ranking but none of them can be used to measure the credibility of a website. There are other important factors like age of the site, its traffic from various sources, backlinks, etc.

    I think both are important, maybe PR is more important though because it makes your site more marketable (selling backlinks) and also makes your domain more marketable if you ever choose to sell it... though Alexa is important because it shows you have a decent amount of traffic/little traffic but a great alexa rank obviously makes your site more marketable.

    None of them are important.

    Not even your google possition in serps is not so important.

    It's only important the money you make.

    PR is supposed to be high, and alexa low I think. But I think we cant say 'PR has no value' for it allows you to get higher resale value in the event you are selling your site.

    Agreed. Never base anything off PR/Alexa.

    Both can give you some indications of your site. But I think traffic is more important than both of them.

    Alexa is useless. It counts the users only who installed its toolbar. I found it mostly from Asia.

    Ask for their daily traffic details; thats it.

    I think PR and Alexa are just indicator for noting. Alexa data does not authenticate about how much traffic flows to your website , similarly, getting a high PR does not indicate that your website is good with great content.
    Both of these can be manipulated( achieved if you do 1,2,3 etc.)

    Alexa Ranking is more important than PR.
    Alexa Ranking is about the traffic come to your site .

    Who tech today peoples? :p

    Weird,
    Anyhow, Both are not important and does important at the same time.

    Some poeples might say that Alexa means a lot for them (But it is toolbar-based).

    Some peoples will say PR means nothing since Google always change the algo so it cannot be based.
