Just like everything in life, there is no holy grail. Getting a good Alexa Rating is just another piece of the puzzle. BTW, AlexaSurf does not work. If you sign up for it, your sites will stay in the INACTIVE state and you will only be boosting the alexa rating for alexasurf.com and a few others. It will not help your site at all.

There is no harm of having your Alexa toolbar and be using it yourself. At the most you will loose 10 minutes of your life doing so. Just make up your mind whether you want to gamble 10 minutes of your life for a PR2 or not. That is all. Make things simple. PEACE! Andrew http://www.PriceComparison.com Online Shopping Starts Here!

Just because you see green pixels, that doesn't mean Google has the page indexed. BTW, if you look at the URL you're checking PR for (with the 'more reliable' SEOpen tool), you'll see that the oddly formed URL Alexa uses for their traffic stats gets cut down to "http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=" which has nothing to do with your site at all. Just squint at your screen shot a little harder. Why would Google use Alexa’s (limited) traffic data, when they have a firehose of data on site visits coming at them via the Google toolbar?

By way of Alexa's robots.txt entries, these shouldn't be accessible to the common SEs.

We have created a program that allows webmasters to enter their site and surf for a lower alexa rating. The cool part about our system is you are required to have the Alexa Toolbar installed to earn credits. This way everyone who takes part gets a lower rating. The more you take part, the lower it goes. Good article, it does help to have a lower ranking. We have created a program that allows webmasters to enter their site and surf for a lower alexa rating.
