I've been looking for more way to monetize my blogs and I wanted to try BuySellAds but they rejected my blogs based on Alexa ranking.

My question is, do Alexa ranking really matter?

Of course, Alexa ranking is based on the Alexa toolbar and sites in the webmaster or technollogy niche are more likely to have a lot of visitors with the toolbar installed.

I'm sure most of my blog readers don't use Alexa toolbar but for example, my technology blog gets half the visitors as my cooking blog but my Alexa ranking on the tech blog is much better than the cooking blog ????

So really, does Alexa ranking really matter?

I think it does. A popular website getting a lot of traffic is going to have a higher Alexa ranking than an obscure site that gets very little traffic. I think the Alexa ranking is reflective of that.

Alexa, Compete and Quantcast are the best samplings of internet activity. They're not perfect but they're better than nothing.

I don't think you should blow off any tool or resource freely available to you for marketing. Alexa can be useful if you can find some reason to use the data in your efforts.

Even if Alexa doesn't affect your website directly, if you were to ever sell it, the buyer is going to want know what the Alexa rank is. If it is crap then you might not get the sale. Its the same thing with PageRank, its over rated but highly valued at the same time, even if its only one of the hundreds of factors of Google's algorithm.

I'm not so new to creating websites and blogs but I still find the most challenging issue for me right now is learning how to find good quality niches.
