  :: Page Rank vs. Alexa Ranking ::

Hi,

Quick question... How is it, that a website with a higher Alexa Ranking has a lower page rank than a site with a lower Alexa Ranking??? For example ...

Example:

Website A - Alexa=100,000 - Page Rank = 1
Website B - Alexa=1,000,000 - Page Rank = 4

How is that possible??

Kind Regards

Tom

Fraser seems to know their stuff
Page Rank is (or at least used to be) a rough measurement of incoming links to site

Alexa is a rough measurement of visitors to a site.

You could easily have a site with a few links coming in but still be unpopular which is website B

And you could have a new site or a site with few links which is pretty popular to be website A

There is nothing that means page rank and alexa ranking would have to be connected

Ohhh... i see! Ok, that explains it. My site is around 170,000 but poor Page Rank. Though both seem slightly pointless in a way.

Thanks Fraser

Say I have 25 good quality links to blue-left-handed-widgets.com its PR is going to be relatively high, but I really don't expect that many people to be searching for 'blue left handed widgets' hence low traffic, hence low Alexa rank. Furthermore, in my experience Alexa ranking can also be really skewed by the nature of the site. It only gives a true indicator on sites with huge visitor numbers. Example: small site A aimed at gerbil lovers - they are not in the main going to be downloading every extension / toolbar in the book and so won't register to Alexa : site B for techy stuff and aimed at your paranoid, want to know everything net user will have a greater % of visitors with the toolbar installed. The true indicator is whether your server based stats are going up or down.
