Alexa, simply put, is worthless. Not only is it flagged as spyware, but their stats are based only Alexa toolbar users. So if 1,000 people visit your site in one day and don't have the toolbar (which most do not anymore, since there are so many that do spyware scans on a regular basis), Alexa doesn't count them.

Don't waste your time trying to achieve high Alexa rankings because it's really not worth it. Wink

That is what I have heard about Alexa, but there is something about wanting a high ranking. Cool

What do you all think about page rank? How acurate is it?

Page rank has nothing to do with your SEO or your actual stats either. Google changes how it does PR whenever it feels like and there is no rhyme or reason to getting a higher PR.

Now that said, even though it doesn't mean anything, I sure do like to see that little green bar go up on my sites. lol Also for my blogs, both PR and Alexa are used on payperpost for what opportunities I can take. So in that case it does matter. I'm moving to other blog writing sites instead because of this actually.

Google should be updating PR again here within a few weeks.

Thanks,
I figured that as well, everythng I read about page rank seems to contradict itself. I will just keep watching traffic and see if the PR keeps climbing!

Links will help too. But once people start figuring out how do increase their PR is when they go and change their formula's. Laughing

You know, sometimes I think Google's aim is to have no one have any PR. LOL! Okay, so that's a little over the top, lol!

As said, Page Rank and Alexa Ratings are virtually worthless. But yeah, I'm human ... I have the google tool bar. There is something about filling that little green bar and there is something about beating the competition's Alexa Score - it's human nature. But, just don't loose any sleep over it Wink

Take care,

This may sound stupid, but if you can't count on Alexa and PR, how do you know if you have a good site or if you're visiting a good, well established site?

Just when you think you have it all figured out...!
