I know that many people already ignore Alexa, but most advertisers still consider it when evaluate ad buys on websites, so I think we need to raise the awareness about it, and encourage them to use other available tools to gauge traffic.

Alexa is not becoming a joke... IT IS A JOKE ALREADY!
yeah, Alexa has been pretty wortlhless since it launched.
i was surprised that the new performancingads is basing almost their entire network on alexa ratings
Lately?
No. For years.
I switched over to compete.com to get my almost useless traffic statistics.
spelled "becoming" wrong
spelled or spelt?
One can never absolutely trust data provided by third parties, especially the free one.
This just in, Alexa has always been a joke. I can't believe people sphunn this.

I hope Alexa can fix the probllems on thier algorithm.
Yes its too bad especially after the recent algorithom changes.
But can somebody suggest an alternative?
What everyone else said: Alexa has always been meaningless
I have always liked Alexa because they rate websites rather than webpages. All these negative comments caused me to give Alexa another look. I ended up installing their toolbar in FireFox. The only thing wrong with Alexa was that they took forever to get a toolbar for FireFox, and now they have finally fixed that problem. Further Alexa's rating of Wikipedia in the bottom of the top 10 is about the same as compete.com. Evaluating websites based upon actual toolbar usage data is the wave of the future.
more like the wave of 3 years ago.
Alexa is proof that most people don't understand statistics.
lame story....learn how to spell
