        It's only one tool out of many that should all be used subjectively to give you an idea.

        Nothing is set in stone.

        ALL Domains and Websites are GOING AWAY NOW! Ask me!
        Many great domains, mainstream and adult, some complete sites with databases, some names with traffic and PR, some investment quality names. Come take a look! { Traffic Orders: Please go here }

                Actually I would think of it as something that is very easy to manipulate However a terrible representation of actual traffic to a site

                  Know that means that on average 1 in ever 9k people on he net will hit the huns page. But since it is repeak surfers, you have to just make an educated guess.

                  It explaines it all on their site

                        Yes, it's a great way to judge traffic. Of course, those with no traffic think it's a lousy way.

                          Agreed,
                          However I don't beleive it should be considered an absolute.
                          I was shocked to see AFF reach top 25 !!!

                            Not very accurate in my opinion.

                                It is so inaccurate it's not funny, I mean how could they possibly even come close to knowing a sites traffic without logs.

                                I can't believe it's ever taken serious, I just visit it for fun.

                                  considering only 0.05% of the people on the net have the toolbar or tracker on their machine, no, it isn't accurate....but in some ways it is, it can tell which site is more popular, but the traffic anaysis is horrible

                                  every anti-apyware program removes alexa, lots of sites explain how to get rid of alexa, it is pretty much common knowledge now to remove the alexa tracking cause it can fuck up a machine

                                  I have traffic, and I still think it is a horrible way to judge traffic and it is SO inaccurate

                                    they tell you on their site (Alexa) they only count the movements of surfers who have thier toolbar installed. (spyware)
                                    so how many do you think that is?
                                    if you can't figure a way to manipulate that you had better get a job driving a truck.

                                      Our hosting company is the 93,000 most visited site on the web?

                                      I mean our business is great but not that great, it's still just hosting.

                                            It wouldn't be accurate as to traffic numbers but it DOES serve as a great tool for judging a particular site's popularity. And it seems that BVF is doing decent

                                            Another good tool is www.metricsmarket.com . The numbers seem to correlate with Alexa's. If you're low/high with alexa then you're low/high with metricsmarket.

                                                Another good tool is www.metricsmarket.com . The numbers seem to correlate with Alexa's. If you're low/high with alexa then you're low/high with metricsmarket.

                                                      Alexa is a GREAT tool for comparing your site's performance compared to other's.

                                                      It allows you to punch in two or three URL's and see them graphed against each other.

                                                      For example - http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...ckyourself.com

                                                      That link shows GFY compared to The Hun over the past two years.

                                                      It is showing RANK which means the rank in respect to all sites on the net. So GFY today is the 1,515th most popular site on the net and the Hun is the 814th most popular. Don't confuse RANK and REACH. Reach means for a given 1 Million People on a day, xxx number will have been to your site in that day.

                                                      Of course it isn't 100% accurate, as yes it relies on the toolbars (not just Alexa's) but it is the best tool there is for the job.

                                                      You haters just don't understand the tool.

                                                      I'd like to finish by saying, we as webmasters should support the tool - as it is SO valuable and would be a great loss if we lost it or discouraged it's use enough to reduce its accuracy further.

                                                      By the way - be sure to check out THEpornTOPlist.com too ;)
