Alot of the discussions i've seen about Alexa, always end up with the conclusion that Alexa isn't very precise..

Umm,
Alexa is not precise and its very easy to falsify, if you have Alexa tool bar, make your website you default home page and reload your browser twenty times or so every day and you will have a fantastic alexa.

Alexa also does not count AOL users, its good as a general guild but its should not be used as an authoritative guide to a website traffic

alexa toolbar is helpful with providing links to related sites, however their ranking system is not accurate. The more people who visit your site that have the alexa toolbar installed the better chance your site will be. Having both alexa and google toolbar allows you compare differences but I'm always sticking with google to be more accurate.

If there is one thing that makes all the other tool bars superior to Alexa is that they do not rely on adware to provide their results. That is percisely why Alexa has such skewed numbers in this regard.

They are an Amazon affiliate...
