    Actually it does help quite a bit with your Alexa ranking. I asked myself the same question over 6 months ago and thought I would do a little experiment with it. In about a month I saw it jump from from 1.5 million to 780 grand now its 154,000. So i know it works.

    Alexa ranking work with the traffic that they monitor so download Alexa bar for IE and use IE when u go to ur site advise your friend/partners/guests to do the same Alexa only cares for people that use their products keep that in mind. so your rank its mainly based on how many Slexa users go to ur site.

    oh yea i forgot about that, yea they do only count visitors on ur site that HAS alexa toolbar, if u dont have it, their visits dont count, which is kinda bad lol, imagine u get 10000 uniques and only 3000 of those have the toolbar, they'll only count the 3000

    ropua01 - it will certainly raise traffic while you're earning traffic credits,
    but it's up to you to convert those "fly by" readers to regular readers.

    From what I've seen PR and Alexa ranking play into each other. Also, I certainly think that traffic exchanges help with your Alexa ranking.

    But it don’t only users that use Alexa or Alexa toolbar gets taken in consideration for the Alexa rank.

    Just not true, Traffic exchanges can offer tons of traffic, if you learn how to use them properly. If you are interested in learning the truth about traffic exchanges, then I believe you should take a lesson from the one guy that tells it like it is, Jon Olsen, the King of Traffic Exchanges.

    http://www.hitexchange101.com/

    It pays to do research on subjects rather than believe everything people say in posts.

    Now, as far as ranking higher through your alexa ranking. This is very true and doesn't hurt you in anyway, one of the best methods to use if that is your goal.

    Also this only breaks the google tos if a large percentage of clicks come from a cingular source, the exchange for example. Google will only have a problem with it if it's evident that clicks are being made purposefully with the intent of racking up cash.

    Link Exchange can drive more traffic on a consistent basis than Traffic Exchange. Put it this way, traffic exchange is a temp. solution and link exchange is a perm solution.

    If you are sick to do link exchange out-task it.

    What? You made no real sense here.

    Link exchanges can indeed drive more traffic, as can many "manual" traffic exchanges.

    And if you haven't figured out how to make traffic exchanges at least a part of your permanent solution in your affiliate promotions then you may need to up your affiliate game a little. Affiliate programs succeed because of traffic exchanges, ofcourse not by themselves but as part of the whole method needed to succeed.

    Consider a breakfast meal. You have different parts that if eaten separate without the others don't amount to much, but together they make a healthy meal that can make your day.

    Traffic exchanges are just part of that healthy meal, along with seo, link building, list building, etc. So instead, put it this way: You need to utilize every tool in the book to succeed, and not automatically down any method you are choosing not to learn more about.
