I read lot of places that alexa ranking is not true because alexa only count those visitors who are using alexa toolbar, and one of the trick to increase alexa ranking is to encourage you visitors to download alexa toolbar.
18th May is a day when facebook was blocked in Pakistan and some Muslim countries also boycott facebook. From that day i am checking facebook alexa rank time to time to see the boycott effect on facebook. But I am supprised because alexa is not showing true ranking. Still in Pakistan’s top websites facebook is ranked at number 3 even not a single Pakistan can visit the website through mobile as well.
This performance of alexa proved to me that we should not relying on alexa ranking when we are going to choice a website or blog for advertising.
Have a good day

I think you are right .But something alexa is the best
@jewelhuq: well checking reply
Alexa takes some time to update and its based on aggregated data.. not on everyday’s. If you wait for some days and if your boycott continues.. you may see the fall.
