I don't care how they are calculated. No. Not bothered in the slightest. Credibility comes from numbers of people who use them. I do care that they are used with authority as a **rough** guideline by many many people including a large number of article marketers (looks like thats your expertise too) I found your site #1 when searching for a no techy explanation of Alexa & PR.

I too have seen that our Alexa rank shoots up and down without regard to the actual website traffic. And no it's not just a time lag between Alex and our Apache logs. So why is Alex even used these days? Although written over 2 years ago, this article is still appropriate.

I have the toolbar installed and suddenly it shows "no rank" for any and all other sites including my own. And this week was our best traffic ever (quantcast, google analytics & our own logging system) but it shows us taking a huge dive this week. It is such an inaccurate tool and yet it's still got clout. So I think I should do what the rest of you are doing and just ignore it. Have any of you had the issue with no rank showing on the toolbar? Thanks!

I've never been sure if these tools actually calculated accurate statistics or not. In any case, It's still fun to check rankings and see how websites size up with one another.

If it were completely useless I don't think a site as big as Alexa would bother to keep the ranking system in place. I'm involved with a group of people that are having a friendly competition to see who can get their Alexa ranking the lowest. If anything it gives us something to talk about and we're having fun doing it. Later, Jeff Sargent Hey Josh,
