It is all based on who downloads their cookie, not all web traffic. There is no remotely accurate web traffic rankings anywhere. I got one competitor for my company who does more than half the business I do (I know based on what I know of the industry) and I am far better placed on Google and Yahoo for all the keywords yet his Alexa ranking it exponentially better than mine.
Rob's 100% right, the only ones who can gather accurate traffic statistic are the webmaster of the site in question, their ISP, or someone even further up the pipeline. If you don't route the packet, you don't get accurate data. And even then, some things are less than 100% accurate, like what web browser or OS they're using. And forget about demographics...Alexa isn't accurate. It is all based on who downloads their cookie, not all web traffic. There is no remotely accurate web traffic rankings anywhere.

5.5 min/day
Avg. Time on Site
5.5 minutes a DAY??????
But I'll bet it is reasonably accurate in comparisons. I think inmost cases, sites with more traffic will show more traffic than sites with lesser traffic. The absolute numbers are likely way too low, bur I'll bet they are pretty good relatively speaking.
Except the the idea that anyone is spending only 5.5 minutes a day here.
Here's another "interesting" (?) stat: 94.9% of the users are from the US. Next: 2.5% form Poland (and 2.7% from all other countries combined.)
I think we can add that in the incorrect column next to 5.5 minutes per day and 4 page views per day per user.
Ian;1472337 Then there were lots of bizzarre terms that lead people here as well. I won't post them :rolleyes:[/QUOTE said:Perhaps craftspeople typing in the term "Made of glass"????????

88% of websites besides this one are faster loading?
Ian - Whats the deal buddy?,are you going to allow 88% of internet sites beat your web loading times?...get with the program and pick up the speed!!!
I run Google Analytics to track traffic, etc. As mentioned Alexa's not all that accurate - pretty interesting that it's still as popular a measuring stick in the internet world. I don't know where they get their demographics info from....doesn't make that much sense.
Too funny!Perhaps craftspeople typing in the term "Made of glass"????????
