Alexa and PR might be handy if you want to sell links and advertising. I dunno - I don't do that. On LinkSpun, PR and Alexa are completely fucking irrelevant.

Alexa is a rough guide but gives me a picture combined with the other things I mentioned. You could have a site that is PR4 with Alexa of 18,000,000. I see these all the time when looking for links. That says it gets fuck all traffic - probably less than fifty visitors a day. That says to me Google doesn't like their shitty page regardless of their high PR. It also tells me it's probably not making money and will be abandoned.
Of course all that is in general. Micro niches and mainstream promotions etc may make money off low traffic but in most of the niches I promote they won't.
