Before, the ranking were more or less based on the toolbar now they are using other ways in determining ranking. That is why webmaster/seo/etc. sites went down and other sites (entertainment, lifestyle, finance, etc.) generally went up. I still think webmaster/tech/seo/sem ranking is too high by few multiples. If Johnchow.com or Copyblogger.com are in the 20,000 ranking, then it should be around 100,000 ranking. Do you really think johnchow.com or copyblogger.com are the most 20,000th popular sites in the internet. I don't think so. Alexa is becoming more accurate but it is still off. Once it becomes more accurate, all of the webmaster/seo/tech based sites will go further down. Including my sites.

Last I heard, the recognized that their toolbar users were heavily skewed toward Korean users' activity.

Alexa is good for your if the data they provide cast a good vibe for your site and its bad for you if the data they provide cast a bad image for your site. Advertisers and sometimes visitors as well likes data that shows you have a large visitors to your site and Alexa is one of many sources that provide that information. Alexa is not prefect, then again nothing in this world is perfect, but it does provide a general picture on how many visitors are visiting a site. It all depends on how you see it.

But there are no reliable info to back this claim up so I am not sure whether you are just speculating based on your observation. But it is not just enough unless you can elaborate on that in-depth. Everything on the internet is not reliable unless everyone is widely read or if you want to know much ask Alexa website owner who is the coder behind all this about how it works before posting on whether it is a fact or a myth. It might just help. Just like you say there is no perfect system out there. Yes true indeed. But every site is aiming for improvement not perfection. :razz: It all depends on whether you know Alexa suck or not if you know how Alexa system works.
