How to read Alexa rating?

Search the forum for alexa.

It's great to tell you how many people, with the alexa toolbar, are surfing your site. Using that info you can tell how many people with the toolbar surf your site.

It's not a good traffic barometer because you do need to have the tb installed to be counted, so i've heard webmaster sites are usually the ones to benefit from alexa because more of the surfers (other webmasters) are likely to have it installed.

Go look at greenguysboard.com vs tommys-bookmarks.com & you'll be able to see why this statement is true.
