   from my perspective this alexa stuff is lacking population/universe…

   espessically the new “traffic to countries analysis” is window-dressing…

   …but
   with regards from germany (your top2 country

   I would be interested to find out what the population comparisons were between the U.S. & India along with the number of people who actually have access to computers and the internet.

   This sort of thing may impact your numbers and provide you with more relevent data. For example, if only 5% of the population in India has access to the internet and 95% of the population in the U.S. have access to the internet, they you may have a much higher percentage of Indian readers than you think…

   What do you think?

    @mark
    i agree, but the central population problem with alexa is in an earlier stage..
    … alexa only can count traffic (systems from countries) when useragents/browsers are using their toolbar.

    e.g: i’m from germany and i haven’t installed the alexatoolbar.. … so i’m not within those 7.3% reported “german visitors”

    factoring “country inhabitants” with “inhabitants using internet” would by the next (very interesting) step.
    but without knowing how many user (byCountry) having this toolbar installed all this alexa-traffic-stuff has no significance

    @ajey
    if you have the toolbar installed and you are visiting/editing your site once a day you are going to get a alexa-traffic-rank approx 100000 withing 2 or 3 month.

    @Mark, you’ve raised valid points. I believe the percentages above are actually a percent of the whole, i.e. if I had 100 visitors, then 5% is 5 visitors and so on.

    @Arnim, you’re right about that. I don’t have the toolbar installed on my PC. Alexa only tracks those on the toolbar. Actually, they can easily provide users with code to put into their blogs/sites for tracking purposes. I’m sure most will do that.
