PR from Google or the Alexa rank, or none ^_^.

**juliensimon** · 12:43 PM

Alexa ranks his website depending on how many visitors who have installed the Alexa toolbar visit your website so it's BS to me.

Google PR is useless as we only have the update once every blue moon.

The wife test.

"Hey, honey, come tell me what you think of this."
"I think you're an idiot, John."
"OK. Thanks."

It's more accurate than Alexa, I'm sad to say.

Thats EXACTLY the same testing bench for how good something is that I use..No Joke, it really is...

If you ask me Alexa is nothing more than spyware.

**optimus203** · 09-09-2008, 07:09 PM

Are there any other options beside the two fore-mentioned?

**francis84** · 09-09-2008, 11:16 PM

Im using both rating tools. =)
But it doesnt mean i focus more on it.
There are lots of things which is important that this rating tools.

**TVDinner** · 09-10-2008, 12:28 AM

I use Google PR bar and Alexa bar to get rankings of my sites and others.

**joshsteve4** · 09-11-2008, 10:00 AM

PR from google and Alexa were the only tool that i know/used.

Nothing remotely useful then?

The only tool that truly will tell you how your website is doing is your ROI..

Everything else is just so much smoke keeping you from seeing what is really important, are you achieving the goals you set for your website??

Ranking #1 for something may feel good, but if it doesn't help you reach your goal, what good is it?? You could have a PR of 7, but if you still aren't achieving your goal, what good is it?? You could have an Alexa rating of 1000, but I think you are getting my point by now..

ROI can be anything.. Sales vs expenses is pretty common (don't forget to include your labor cost, it's NOT free no matter what you think).. It can be conversion rates for people filling out a survey whose data you can resell, etc etc etc.. But in the end, the only thing that matters is, are you getting a reasonable return on your investment??

**juhasan** · 09-14-2008, 03:52 PM

Google PR is much more reliable than Alexa. Alexa rating is total worthless - if you have high rating you may fool some stats lover - can't fool tech savvy guys at all.

**swity** · 09-15-2008, 06:21 AM

People still believe on Google PR to rate a site status while Alexa ranking is being popular.

**j.master** · 09-15-2008, 10:06 AM

I think google PR is more accurate than alexa ranking. Google PR will help your site in SERP.

**Tropica** · 09-20-2008, 04:23 PM

Although I look for both, and feel quiet pleased when my PR goes up and my alexa comes down, I know its not worth anything really.

Maybe thats their purpose, the feel good factor

**anshu1234** · 09-23-2008, 03:23 AM

i use google toolbar
