You can’t trust Alexa for accurate traffic ranks. Their traffic ranks are based on people who use Alexa. Try setting your home page to Alexa and then spend a few days going to your website over and over. You will see your rankings climb fast. Alot of marketers use this as a false tool to show their traffic ranks.
Couldn’t agree more. Alexa is a good tool as a guide. The larger a site is, the more accurate it’s stats are going to be due to a larger sample size.
If you want real data you’re gonna have to fork out the $$$ for hitwise….which, btw, is money well spent
