Hey Kris, to increase your Alexa rank, you need more visitors with the Alexa Toolbar installed. This implies that you can have an increasing amount of visitors and pageviews, and still a decreasing Alexa rank. I had the same here, since my iPhone IOS4.0 articles did very well, I had a big increase in traffic, but since most of them were iPhone users, not interested in all things website related, most of them didn’t have the Alexa toolbar, and thus my Alexa rank dropped.

I’m very late here… but I will have to argue that this is not necessarily true. My pageviews have steadily been increasing over the past few months, my PR has gone up, but in the past 2-3 weeks my Alexa ranking has tacked on almost 90,000!! I don’t understand it at all.

I hear that it’s supposed to be more stable once you are above 100,000, but they won’t let me get there… I am going in the wrong direction. Blah.

True, the hard part of statistics is the interpretion of the numbers. Alexa does have it’s role, as you say, but cannot be used as a general traffic measurement in my opinion.

So many have stated that ALexa ranking is flawed and worthless.
Obviously many people do not understand Statistical data. Stats are never an exact science. They are never the exact number of your overall data.
The main purpose for any statistical data is to show trends, try and work out forcast, interpret the data and then apply it.

So yes ALexa is not perfect, but it can show you some interesting trends over time. IF yoiu understand that it is just a sample of your data, then you have won the first big batter.

Indeed, since Alexa only counts visits from people who are using the Alexa toolbar, it is a very singlesided, and thus worthless barometer. However, if the value of your website is being evaluated, stupid enough, it is still considered as one of the pointers. So often it does pay (literally) to increase the Alexa rank.

For bloggers “who blog on blogging,” Alexa Rank is of more importance to this crowd.

Although, in the grand scheme of things, Alexa Rank is somewhat of a worthless barometer.

I’d rather have a list of active, engaged subscribers.
