Reach per Million Users (explained by Alexa: "Reach is typically expressed as the percentage of all Internet users who visit a given site. So, for example, if a site like yahoo.com has a reach of 28%, this means that if you took random samples of one million Internet users, you would on average find that 280,000 of them visit yahoo.com").
My reach according to Alexa: 1 week average = 7.5, so I should have gotten 75,000 visits in the past week, or 7.5% of a million, right?
Wrong... I get between 30 and 60 visits per day, or 210 to 420 visitors in the last week.
Also, their traffic rank... I noticed that some sites ranked around 200,000 get a ton of visitors. Well, my Alexa.com traffic rank for the past 1 week is now at 198,508 (from 1,089,518 yesterday). I don't get it. I didn't get a windfall of visitors today.
Does anyone know of anything that lets you see the stats of "any" website like Alexa, but provide better results?
I have been using Alexa.com to compare my site statistics with others
Yes, but with every respect, that's a waste of time...
Compare your own statistics with yours for last month - that's ALL that matters - if it's better - good - if it's not - problem.
Make your stats become better each month and ignore Alexa - free fluff is worthless!
To rank well in Alexa, you have to have visitors who browse using Alexa above all other engines.
I don't need to say more!

We have one kind of orphan site that we use mostly for file storage, and I got it from rank of under 500k to over 90k just by installing Alexa and spam hitting the site many times a day for a couple weeks.
