Alexa sites linking in list
Anyone know why google tracks hundreds of sites linking in to my website versus only 22 on alexa's list?

Also I've posted over 100 comments on a Canadian financial help website with my signature correctly formatted linking to my site and none of those have shown up yet , the funny thing is with only a handful of v7n posts here (over the 50 minimum) that showed up on alexa?? what gives?

Because alexa is spyware and its not reliable.

keep in mind, every time you mention the name "alexa", or ask a questions about it - your promoting spyware. And the last time I heard, spyware was bad.

I agree with ~Kev~, alexa aka amazon spy, but they display misleading information.

That' just funny to see how many webmasters are concerned by the results of this crappy "alexa" website selling ads.

Think a minute how amazon monetized your incorrect statistics based on their crappy spy toolbar

Does this mean that being ranked in Alexa is a bad thing or just useless?

There is a doubt about Alexa, that it might be for targeted links only. Don't know for sure but being in the top list is not a bad thing.

I don't know about alexa but the reason your links showed up is that v7n.com offers do follow backlinks and they have a very high Page Rank of 6.

Don't you think that 50 contextual PR6 backlinks will affect your rankings.
(I think they would)
