Alexa on the other hand is determined by the amount of traffic you are getting to your site. The lower the ranking, the better your position.

Can you define this statement please:

The lower the ranking, the better your position.

zealseo the lines above are very clear in this sentence that as the ranking is are good when lowered with others like wise same with alexa.

I your site has a traffic ranking of 3,50,214. and after one month you are ranking is 2,45,110 then this means your site is doing well with alexa traffic rankings.

Now, you can measure the ranking is lowered.

This is what which is meant by the our team member.

Although all of members here go in favor or go against but for me it even can't compared. All of you comparing two rivals i.e Google and MSN. Google has nothing to do with Alexa and in the same way Alexa has nothing to do with Google. If you think Alexa stats are compiled from traffic only then you are wrong. Alexa counts everything just like Google's PR but PR is very complex formula. It is rather difficult to get listed in Google but MSN doesn't behave in this way. On many forums I have read that MSN admires new sites and list them high but someone will has to maintain it hardly.

SO there is no comparison between Alexa and Google's PR.

Alexa rankings are extremely biased. Even a small site could have several of it's frequent visitors load a toolbar and make the site look popular.

I do know some people are doing this, they just build a website and increase the alexa ranking to 10k within a week, then they sell it out to someone who dont really understand the concept

Alexea seems to be inacurate. Going to your site with an Alexea toolbar over and over can boost your rating. Even though the actual traffic is disimal.

i understand about alexa being lower the better. i wonder, does alexa ranking really matter? for me, it is still the google page ranking that has the last say, especially for my paid blogging sites. don't you agree? good day!
