Not very. A long time I did a graph
http://www.textor.com/alex.gif
comparing known traffic levels with alexa ranking. Left side is visitor sessions per month, x axis is ranking.
At the interesting end the graph is so steep that what looks like a close fit is in fact miles out. I would expect a closer fit at the left hand end because the sample is bigger, but it is much harder to get any decent stats.
If anyone on the list is interested in sending me stats / alexa rankings (no need to say what site it is) I am happy to correlate and graph.
- only alexa < 500,000 need apply
- send visitor sessions per month and alexa ranking
- subject Alexa ranking data
