If you wish to rely on Alexa thats your perogative, but IMO it is not a fair guage of traffic, only a guage of Alexa users who visit your site.
Again that might be true at ranges from 1,000,000+ because numbers up there simply means little or no discernable traffic from their database.

I’ve never seen an 8,000,000+ rating though mate – what’s the site I’ll have to go and have look
:bigsmile:
As for under 500,000 – I believe that Alexa works well enough – albeit it with their biases – and I know avertisers do too. They’re always interested in the Alexa RANK when booking monthly advertising and paying fees.
Their lists of movers and shakers (rises and falls in traffic) are always interesting and the changes can usually be tied into something topical.
Personally – my main site is a European football site first and foremost – and I can see Alexa pretty much nailing the correct traffic for weekdays vs weekends and also whenever the football is on a break.
Alexa is accurate enough for sites that actually get REAL traffic.
