Well, I do think sometime Alexa gives you a "very rough" idea of traffic but it never became a factor for me. I hardly even look at it. That's simple because its far from being accurate.

I always check the alexa on bidding directories, but alexa only measures webmaster traffic, so a site could get 5000 from google a day, it wouldnt affect alexa....

alexa is useless

only counts from people with the toolbar installed and not everyone uses it

its also very easy to fiddle

I rarely pay attention to Alexa. If I am buying an ad spot on a site, then I would rather ask the owner about his traffic than to take Alexa data as gospel.

mostly site owner or SEO would have alexa and google toolbar, if you are submiting site where webmaster visit everyday your alexa rank and google pr would get better every time.

NRL, we have only 2 to 3 hundred members, you need to increase more members to have get better rank in alexa.

Good Luck

I don't believe alexa ranking is reliable, I often use it. It really doesnt matter to me.

Alexa rank is indeed important.It shows you the amount of traffic you get ,your site's listings and your traffic rank in major countries.Any website that has a good traffic rank in alexa is bound to catch an eye of Google and we all know what follows next.You tube had a similar history prior to getting procured by the master.

Following repeated press reports of fraudulent online marketing, CCTVskf bearings reports it now has evidence that Chinese Internet search engine Baidu.com (BIDU) is engaged in dubious activities.fag bearings In a recent news program, CCTV cited a game player surnamed Han as saying that Baidu ranked websites based on the money they paid regardless of the service quality the website provided to netizens. Han, a computer game fan, said he contacted a website that ranked at the top of Baidu's search engine to buy some game coins. He paid CNY600 for the coins, but was not given any reply from the seller and realized he was cheated by that website. Han was angry that Baidu.com would place such a cheating website at the top position of its search engine ranking.nsk bearingsCurrently most of the search engine service providers are providing search marketing services based on the amount of fees that clients pay instead of the quality of the service they provide or the amount of links back to the website, which is how Google's algorithm generally works. All these problems have resulted in a crisis of credibility for these search engine operators and has posed a bottleneck for the development of the search industry in China.timken bearings Legal experts quoted in local media say that there is not a law to regulate the behavior of the search engine service providers, so the only thing they can do is to suggest consumers not to rely too much on the search results of those search engines.ball bearings Furthermore, it appears that Baidu itself should not be held accountable for the behavior of its advertising clients. While the search engine firm should do the responsible thing and investigate Han's claims and perhaps remove the website in question as a client, buyers of online services should always take steps to ensure they have done their research prior to engaging in online commerce.
