We can see our page rank from alexa, is it based on rank in google only or also combination from other search engines ?

Alexa Ranking is a site ranking assigned by Alexa Internet to "measure websites'' popularity. It claims to use a number of factors in deciding the site popularity, but really it depends mainly on usage data collected by the Alexa toolbar.

Definitely not something you should rely on. Use it as a reference, but don't take it at face value.

No, it doesn't. Alexa rank is based on traffic.

It doesn't based on google search engine, if you continue watch it for some days you will find: it based on traffic. If your daily visits high your alexa rank is high.

Alexa is not very accurate an can easily be manipulated. Most of the data and stats come from the toolbar.

alexa ranking is based on the volume of traffic you are getting... and it is not affect any search engine rankings.

^Alexa ranking is based on volume of traffic coming which have alexa toolbar installed, most people in the world have never heard of alexa nor would they install the toolbar, yesterday I had probably an extra 25k unique visitors to one of my sites, thats on top of my normal traffic, doubt it will make a blip on alexa as normal people do not have it.

Hi All,

I learned new information about alexa. Thank you!

Right, not sure but mainly alexa ranking is based on traffic only, may use google data but not sure...

It's based on the Alexa Toolbar and is just as useless as PR.

Google is not the only source in their algorithm. But anyway, alexa is really the last thing that i would look at to gauge a website.

Alexa ranking is calculating by the amount of traffic ( visitors and hits ) to a website but Google pagerank is an mathematical formula for calculating the popularity of a website. And none of them are using of the other one. They are completely separate.

Wrong!
Alexa use data from the relatively very small number of Alexa toolbars users (~1%) which also has a limited demographic and this is then extrapolated to the entire Internet.

but Google pagerank is an mathematical formula for calculating the popularity of a website

Nope, it is a probababilty calculation that random clicking on links will bring a "surfer" to that PAGE!!

Alexa toolbar and alexa search combines and creates this. It is really easy to fake alexa rank, and it doesn't give much value for other SE

If im not mistaken, its mainly based on traffic to your url

You are mistaken!

Additional Information:
Alexa isn't entirely accurate, because it relies on statistical sampling that isn't random. Alexa achieves its ranking system by counting how many pages were visited by people who have downloaded their toolbar. And that group of people is anything but random: they tend to be webmasters, internet marketers, and other market-minded people. And technical people tend to completely turn up their noses at Alexa rankings, because installing a toolbar that "spies" on their surfing habits makes them upset, even though Alexa only collects aggregate information (nothing that should be linked back to an individual).
