This is interesting material I just got across today. One problem is that Alexa works if you have their toolbar. Unfortunately, corporate users cannot install it on their machines at work. Hence, how and if they reach your site cannot be tracked by Alexa. this is discussed here with some nice links:

usage varies enormously and Alexa.com may not be right

@James: right. The problem was that Alexa didn’t even touch my sites, that’s all :)

@Vlad: Your post looked at Alexa and webstat referrals from Alexa – not your Alexa ranking… 2 different things

Thanks for commenting on my blog on this topic. Apparently it did work before, since I had the stats that clearly showed some difference (in the post: http://www.istudioweb.com/more-fun-with-alexa-and-stats-2008-01-10/)

@Kaloyan – the point isn’t so much the HTML – it’s that the fact that Alexa redirection does not work

A better option is to make the Alexa redirecting JavaScript-powered: in this way the HTML will not be modified, and the redirects will still work. Iâ€™ve applied this technique to a new plugin called Better â€œAlexa Redirectâ€ WordPress plugin.

@JoLynn: Thanks glad it helped :)
@Michael from Pro Blog Design: Whether any of us think it matters or not, it matters to advertisers. I will be doing a post soon about effective Alexa analysis soon, so hope you will be able to gain something from that later.
