As long as sites like TLA base their ranking on Alexa's ones, we can't give up with it. :evil: Who cares for Alexa rank, anyway?

Also, You Tube probably does have more traffic than Google.com, In fact I will write a post on it.... You are right, Alexa has commercial value and it is worth paying attention to.

I actually use it more when looking at buying advertising... not for myself as I have nothing to advertise ;-) but I do get asked to look at things from time to time....

At high traffic levels Alexa is reckoned to be pretty accurate. Unless you think that the youTube audience has a higher proportion of users running the Alexa bar.... personally I don't think thats the case....
