Default Where do you find Alexa ratings?

I'm reading about Alexa ratings but how do I know what they are for my website?

You can find the Alexa Tool Here. Just enter your URL and hit the go botton.

Do not trust the information that it shows for your site. The statistics only comes from people who have the Alexa tool bar installed so its not an accurate picture on the amount of traffic your site receives.

And it's getting less and less accurate over time.

I prefer Page Strength. It's much more thorough

I have a habit of checking people's ranks on Alexa and I was wondering why sites I knew should be gaining were dropping. I didn't know it was dependent upon a toolbar install. That makes sense.

I guess I'll try the other tool you suggested Lisa

Thank you very much for the website Lisa. I tried it for my site and it seems to work really well. It's weird, I was going to post something asking anyone if they knew a good tool such as this. You've answered my question before I could ask it.
