    I have bought 3 PR 2-3 domain, but just have 4-5 million alexarank. And some blog have PR3-4 just have 1million alexarank?
    The strange one, my blog have 500k alexarank but just have PR1.
    Why?

    They are completely different measurments.
    PR deals with credibility of your sites (in the eyes of Google)
    Alexa measures the amount of visitors to your site with Alexa toolbar.

    this is make sense as page rank and alexa rank is totally different,
    pr is based on more about the "quality" how google view your site
    alexa ranking is based on traffic, my company have a big scam network within among top 300 in alexa but with none PR!

    Alexa Depends on lots of thing like
    1. regular updates
    2. Constant Traffic ( It should not be like 1 visit a day and next day 10k visit)
    3. Alexa Toolbar Sparky
    4. Alexa widget on your blog

    I'm saying it from my experience.. I have one blog with almost 18K alexa and other one with 160K alexa..

    I don't agree, I can show you some websites with high PR as well as alexa rank.

    It depends on creditability and visitors coming to your website.

    Alexa is not a good tool to measure your traffic. Use google analytics instead.

    PR is depends on dofollow backlinks you get from high PR pages.

    Alexa is depending on the traffic you get.

    Backlinks and traffic are both different measurement.

    GA is better! ;) Cuz Alexa stats are based on the number of users who have the Alexa toolbar installed (most of them are webmasters) However, Alexa did some improvements lately...

    PR is a different story and technically it only regulates the frequency in which your site gets crawled by G.

    Alexa is not really accurate these days. There are many other analytics sites like google, quantcast, etc available with proper report.

    So far, I would say Google analytics is the best visitor count tools that we all have and it is free.

    My occult forum made it into the alexa top 100k for nearly 6 months with little to no promotion on my part and at the time a base PR2/3....now it's hovering around 200k and still, I do little to promote it. Why it's that good the world may never know.

    Alexa is WAY Over rated! It means little to most people, and is not really a clear sign of a sites worth... if a PR2 site can make it into the top 100k without much promotion, what do you think that value of it really is? My guess is that it's ranked not by the toolbar, but by a small handful of hampsters that dabble in webmaster stuffs, porn, and the occult.

    Can you explain where you refer the traffic stats at the moment? Is it from google analytics? How many are Unique visitors? Is it counting bots too? My hosting stats showed my site gets 2k UV per day but google analytics shows 700+ only. I prefer google analytics stat as we can see total number of visitors referred precisely from which site and page using it.

    As far as I can see, only pagarank is available and it is from google. None that I have heard for Yahoo or Bing. Of course, there are no competition if we compared here, pagarank will be the best.

    But, higher pagerank does not mean you will get good traffic or lower pagerank does not mean that you don't get any traffic. Pagerank is depending on dofollow backlink calculation and value. The more dofollow backlinks pointing to your site the better your pagerank will be. Each blogpost or pages have different pagerank.

    Pleas remember one thing. PR has nothing to do with alexa ranks(traffic). I have a PR 0 website with high PR and good alexa ranks. But some of my PR 5 website hardly gets traffic.

    So more traffic, more alexa ranks.

    PR Not Equal to Traffic Not Equal to Alexa
