    I'd say very little. Much better things to concern yourself with than Alexa Rank.

    Sure, Google probably look at it, but if it does have any bearing on ranking, I'd say it's minimal.

      Can't agree more. Just concentrate your efforts on other things like SEO, content generation etc.

    Alexa rank is measured on the basis of traffic which comes from alexa toolbar installed browsers.

    Its not very much important.however some advertisers check the website's alexa rank to check the traffic to site.

    It has 0 importance for the search engines because it can be manipulated in black hat ways. Its only good if you want to sell the site.

      It is not very important Because Alexa calculate the traffic of the site when we go to that site with alexa tool bar. so concentrate on one way link building to your certain keywords.
      with regards,

    Alexa rankings are not relevant. They appear from the users of Alexa toolbar users, so the alternative is biased adjoin those who download the toolbar, generally webmasters. Alexa rankings are ridiculously simple to raise. You just charge to install the toolbar and appointment its website on a circadian basis. The appraisal will advance the depending on how abundant you can do. The Alexa rank has annihilation to do with the Google rank.

    From my experience alex ranking is not important for a site. But google page rank is most important for a website. If you want to see your site reach at the top of google page rank then you must use seo tools.

    It depends on website that determines the importance of alexa rank. If you are an online seller then alexa rank would be a plus mark for the trust and authority of your website. Higher rank means you get more visitors and conversion than your competitor.

      Complete nonsense. Could be a great indicator of mindless traffic.

      Alexa is for entertainment purposes. If you make a business decision based on
      alexa, then you have zero business sense.

      Case in point. autohits.dk Alexa rank of 13,000. Of course you could put
      a ton of traffic exchanges, especially auto, on a high alexa list.

      Spin your site in on autohits.dk for a week. See what results you get.

      How about trafficswarm? Alexa of 1,000. Man is that huge! Go ahead and
      put your site there too.

      Pumping up mindless traffic is meaningless.

    Hi,

    There's only 1 benefit. Register at Alexa to get a backlink. That's all.

    Alexa maybe has the least importance in SEO, but the important thing is, it still has an importance.

    Alexa rank is useful in judging particular website's traffic. When you go for the link exchange you can consider the Alexa rank too.
