I have the Alexa toolbar which I find useful for getting an idea of how well my competitors are doing. However the downside is that my ratings get over inflated as my site is the first one I view when I open my browser. This makes it impossible for me to gain any real data from my alexa rating.

Even if the Alexa figures are skewed to those who have downloaded the toolbar at least if the figures are improving this most have some significance

Alexa? I was in there about a week ago and had to remember the lower your reach the better your site according to the Alexa toolbar users. Or some such non-sense.

Alexa is an example of a site that needs to figure out how it’s going to sustain it’s relevance into the future. Clearly it’s not relevant to me as some one in the SEM/SEO space, and why should it be?
