Something is wrong with alexa
 

If you have installed plugin for firefox which shows you in footer alexa rank of each site which you visit,you will notice gfy alexa rank on fucking-around-and-business-discussion/
is 79151,but when you click inside then it's change to 85,694.Any idea why is that happening?

Thats no alexa issue its a issue with your plugin. Refresh the page and the alexa rank should be fine.
Whats the plugin your using? Try alexa-sparky and you should have no problems.

I have the alexa plug in for firefox and no issues here...:)

I think what's wrong is people attaching way to much importance on Alexa.

Alexa rank is how people with small penises (and brains) play whipout

Thanks for the suggestion on the alexa-sparky... went and installed it.. looks pretty decent :)

Especially since it doesn't track Vista users...:pimp

tell that to the people in the top 5k

GFY Alexa is 96k, no?

I using search status plugin for it which also shows page rank and other things.

Agreed. :2 cents:

I remember when GFY used to be in the top 500

It's actually very accurate once you get in the top tier

I've always found the amount of weight webmasters give to Alexa pretty interesting. It is, in my opinion, an incredibly over-rated metric.

Consider this from their own site's FAQ on how they measure traffic for its rankings:
Alexa Users... those who have the toolbar installed or search for sites on the Alexa system.

The only people I know who have even heard of Alexa, let alone download and install their toolbar, are webmasters. I'd hardly consider webmaster traffic a good indication of reliable, quality traffic.

I don't give any weight, whatsoever to Alexa. As a general guestimate metric, sure. Beyond that, I think it's rather worthless and entirely over-rated.

Of course, that's just my opinion and it's not meant to try and convince anyone else of Alexa's accuracy, or lack thereof.

People stopped to post would you hit it threads :1orglaugh
