Compete has much better stats IMO. I mean if you do little test Alexa gets so slanted and comes out crazy sometimes. But try Compete and see if you still like Alexa.

Congrats. Its an achievement to be up there. But frankly I don’t think that would be a viable source of web site traffic. Sites listed there, like yours are already having massive traffic.

Smaller ranking sites will still need to rely on other methods to get traffic, be it through ezine advertising, social bookmarking, PPC or website optimization services.

Cheers.

I don’t think you can say that the traffic is definitely targeted traffic. There may be many other reasons why a person would click on your site…maybe they were just interested in the design of the site or trying to find out how your site got onto the movers and shakers list.

Saying that though, I would imagine quite a high percentage of people that use the Alexa website are either marketers or in a similar field so you may be right.

Interesting post Andy. I did a survey a few months back to see if there was any correlation between how much bloggers earn and there Alexa ranking. It turns out that there is, that may come as no surprise, but is a useful broadbrush tool to let you know if you can expect to make much money from your blog. To make decent money you need to be below 150,000 to make good money you need to be below 25,000 and to be a really big hitter you need to get below 10,000 – the whole post is here – http://www.netmonetization.com/2007/07/blogger-revenue-and-alexa-rankings-are.html – just a bit of fun but interesting nevertheless. Another interesting point, my Pagerank just went up, although my Alexa ranking has gone down !

Alexa is amazing for stat tracking, and although I’m probably not going to make it on the movers and shakers list, it IS a great place for traffic simply because it is not exactly social, but it provides statistics. It’s basically the mob mentality of “what everyone else is visiting.”

Andy it Might sounds a stupid rookie question but how do you set up to get this Alexa traffic in the first place?

Thanks for your help
