What is Alexa:
Alexa is a website that shows many statistics about traffic on sites, it is not a precise tool nor a great one BUT it is used a lot in the world of SEO. The alexa rank shows a good estimate of how popular and how well your site ranks. When a site is newly indexed it is usually in the 20 000 000, but over time as it becomes more popular and more traffic comes to its site, the rank will go up.
- Shows site popularity
- Terms sites use to get traffic

What rank is a good rank?
Good question : Its personal. Under 500,000 you generally start to get interesting traffic and under 100,000 you are in buisiness.
Beware!
Alexa ranking is determined by people using the Alexa tool bar so if your site isn’t visited by many people with the toolbar then it is normal you want rank higher.
