Alexa does nothing but feed the ego of the site owner. From an advertiser's point of view, I use compete.com for traffic, Quancast for demographics, and my own tracking for results. That really hasn't failed me yet. Yeah, they’re still heavy on their foolbar. Alexa does nothing but feed the ego of the site owner.

I have a site that gets 30k visits a month (which I know isnt the best) and it barely ranks in Alexa, but are visitors of a heavy metal band fan site likely to have an alexa toolbar?? then I have a site that gets 20-30 visits a day and ranks 280k in alexa. My personal blog, getburied.com (which ive been a bit slack at updating recently) had a huge traffic boost this week due to an old post ranking at number one in google, yet my alexa rank didnt budge. My own stats give me a better guide of how my site is doing anyway.
