Alexa is a good tool. But it does not give you much information. A good Alexa ranking could mean for example:
a.) that you have a huge number of visitors, and that’s why you have such a big number of visitors with the toolbar installed
b.) you have a small number of visiotrs, but most of them have the toolbar installed.
c.) you faking the Alexa rank
Our website for example doubled the unique traffic in the past week, and yet, Alexa ranking moved from 90,000+ to 260,000, i.e. according to Alexa now we are getting 3 times less visitors, when we acctualy are getting two times more.
Or if you take CAP, for example, with 3,000+ reg. members, it is safe to asume that about 200-300 visit the forum on a daily basis, and about 200-300 unregistered visitors. But with 500-600 unique visits a day, CAP according to Alexa ranks in the top 5,000 most popular sites, while we get more uniques than that. :wink-wink
Dont get me wrong, though. If tomorrow Alexa show us under 50,000, I will make sure that all my contacts know about it :angel:
P.S. I appologize to Chip Leader for taking over his post, maybe someone should separate our Alexa rant from his thread. :cheers:
