- Alexa does not get much direct traffic and has a limited reach with their toolbar
- a small change in site visitors can represent a huge change in Alexa rating
- Alexa is biased toward webmaster traffic
- many times new webmasters are only tracking themselves visiting their own site
- ignorance
- if many people who visit my site about marketing install the Alexa toolbar then my Alexa rating would go exceptionally high
- the marketers may associate their own rise in success with their increasing Alexa ranking although it happens to be more of a coincidence than a direct correlation
Although is alexa.com is used to judge ones site i believe its not fair because i see websites that have lower traffic than my site and yet alexa gives them a higher rank. When people are searching for marketing companies they use alexa to make their choices and this is crap because they wont get the right results sorry. Do a wide research on sites before you choose a company for marketing because alexa is not accurate.
