Wouldn't REACH be a better figure to base your assumptions on? Rank values will shift around as sites with similar traffic compete for a group of spots. Reach should stay more constant.

Nah not really, I have compared with other people just based on alexa rank and we got similar results:
Alexa rank: 1,400,000 = 600 uniques day
Alexa rank: 500,000 = 1,500 uniques day
Alexa rank: 80,000 = ???

Ok, so my 10k site has a rank of 156k - 280k
I checked a 7k site and it has a rank of 11 million (a huge dip in rank for a relatively small difference in traffic)
A 5k site has a rank of 4 million (less traffic, higher rank?)
You get the idea? It's a very vague indication at best.
For my 30k site it guesses 45,651
For my 10k site it guesses 7,907
For my 7k site it guesses 137 (lol)
For my 5k site it guesses 352
If you were able to get real data for a large number of sites and compare them with estimated data you might find that when averaged they're sort of right... but at the individual site level you'll see a lot of these significant fluctuations; the estimates are dead WRONG.

7k hits a day and a 11 million rank......... thats just totally messed up..... 11 million is baout 25 hits a day
One of my blogs that was getting 300 uniques a day used to be ranked about 580k for many months. Traffic has doubled, yet the ranking has gone to 1.3 million.
One of my tubes at 10k uniques a day every day hovers at about 175k. Interestingly, a few days when my traffic on that site dipped to 6k to 8k from some trade shakeups, my Alexa improved and went down to like 145k on the 7 day rank.
I only use Alexa to make some extremely broad assumptions.
