Well, I think many of the users on the internet share the same thought ;)

The reason most of the users do not trust Alexa for the rankings of the traffic rankings of the websites in the fact that Alexa only counts the visitors who have Alexa toolbar installed in the web browsers (as said by carl owen before ;))

I think this is the main reason for which Alexa rankings are not considered and if Alexa starts counting the visitors which do not have Alexa toolbar in the web browsers, the Alexa rankings of most of the websites will change and more webmasters will start considering Alexa rankings for the websites
