Alexa rank depends not only on the traffic, but several other factors too. One of them is quality backlinks, which is not at all related to traffic.

From  talks with different Gurus, the Google traffic analyzer is more accurate. Years ago however Alexa was the standard.

This is a ranking system set by alexa.com (a subsidiary of amazon.com) that basically audits and makes public the frequency of visits on various Web sites. The algorithm according to which Alexa traffic ranking is calculated, is simple. It is based on the amount of traffic recorded from users that have the Alexa toolbar installed over a period of three months. This traffic is based on such parameters as reach and page views.

Alexa ranking depends upon the alexa toolbar installed in the browser. It is inaccurate because it doesn't collect the traffic data from the non-alexa toolbar users.

I agree, you can't give the Alexa ranking too much thought. I've often thought of the major flaw, every visitor needs to have the Toolbar installed. The majority of web users won't, with the "tech" crowd being the exception.

We can't say that Alexa traffic and ranking is totally inaccurate and we also can not say that its ranking is accurate. It gives us estimated traffic so estimate can be or can not be exact.

Alexa rank computes al lthe traffic for the main domain and its subdomains. The subdomains don't have a separate rank. To get 45k Alexa rank you need to have more then 10k univ visitors per day.

Yes,the Alexa Traffic Rankings are not accurate and cannot be used to boast traffic rankings for the average site owner,I think. The main flaw that I have found with Alexa, is their main method of collecting user traffic data, which is mainly through an Alexa Toolbar that collects data from users' browsers that have the toolbars installed.

It is true or not how can i say as i have no exact parameters for its checking however many seo experts use it to measure rank of their websites. You may include its tool bar icon which will show the rank of each site you open in your browser..

There is no connection of Alexa ranking on the original Ranking factor of Google, Traffic is just a part for evaluation and distribution of rank to a website, however Alexa is just concentrated on the number of visits and traffic generation of site, and yes I have also heard about it being inaccurate, so just concentrate on building links and increasing the page rank traffic will flow naturally once the site achieves top ranking in Google.

Alexa is basically a grading system given to the websites. Many people thinks that after doing so much efforts it hardly improves. It depends not only on quality link building but also site updation factors.

Alexa claims to rank websites on the basis of the traffic that they receive. It does a good job most of the time, but many a times it isn't accurate. There is this website ShoutMeLoud with a daily traffic of around 10K visitors and is having an Alexa of 2K.
