Do Not Use Alexa To Monitor Your Ranking
Most webmasters still use Alexa to see where their site ranks on the web. This has been something that has been talked about before but to anyone who has yet know about the changes Alexa has made the figures you are about to see might give you little idea. Alexa has stopped counting Social Media traffic, at least Digg. It seems like it still counts other social media traffic because when we looked into our Alexa ranking it seems pretty decent and we do get quite a few hits from StumbleUpon and of course our type in traffic is killer. Anyways, this might be nothing new to most but if you are still checking your ranks on Alexa and monitoring where you site is heading it might not be the best tool to use. Below are some images that show the difference between Alexa and Compete. Enjoy!

Seriously, Alexa is totally crapped out. If you monitor your sites ranking there you might be as well see yourself going downhill and the case might be you are actually soaring high. Avoid it.
note : we contacted Alexa regarding some changes and of course they didn’t reply back. Nothing has been said officially but I guess we can see it for ourselves.
"Seriously, Alexa is totally crapped out."
That's what you say, and you don't have any proof of that, not by now,…. so I could say that the graph you posted of Compete are fake or even that Compete.com is crapped out, so this is not a good argument in your text…. try to prove it, not just blame.
