[BUSINESS] how important is Alexa for seo

[BrasSmonkey]

Server logs/stats what i look at.

AWStats is where I go to in my Cpanel your server knows best!

I think this is where a lot of people get confused with Alexa. Alexa and your stats are two completely different things.

If you want to track your hits then use your server stats / AW stats / google analytics or whatever you prefer.

Alexa simply tells you how well you are doing compared to the rest of the world. Its perfectly plausible that your hits might go up and your alexa ranking might go down. It just depends how everybody else is doing at the time and the further down the curve you are, the more likely it is that your ranking will jump about

Alexa uses a big enough sampling to make it pretty damned accurate. You just have to remember its a RANKING system and not a STATS system

i stomped on a famous linkdump back in the day using alexa and google images i took the #1 spot for almost a year!!
