Hey Everyone, Just interested to know how much attention you give to alexa ranking. I noticed whenever I replace a regular website with a wordpress blog, it improves the ranking immensely. Just curious to hear your views. Thanks, Dale |

Alexa can provide you with a general idea of how popular a website is, but it is known to be fairly inaccurate. If you really want to get an accurate summary, I would also consider internal stats (non javascript), Google Analytics, and the other mainstream traffic sites like Quantcast, Compete, and Comscore. However, your traffic ranking has hardly anything to do with how much money you will make. It is like the Google PR, cool to know, but not really helpful in reality. |

I agree, Alexa can be so, so far of. I only use it to gauge if a site might have traffic. If a site ranks in the millions, pretty good chance they don't get much or are not very popular.

I'd second what Rod Cortez said: zero. Alexa ranking is based on data collected from browsers that downloaded and installed the Alexa toolbar. How can it be accurate? |

Alexa is not as reliable as it was a few years ago. You could try sites like Quantcast instead. |

I use Alexa to type in my competitor's website so I can get their primary keywords that they are targeting. It is how I find all the mispellings they are targeting and where a majority of their traffic is coming from. js |
