Currently, my site is using roughly around 6Gb of bw. I always thought the more traffic a site gets, the better ranking it would receive. Well, another site I help run uses around 2-3GB of bw and has a better alexa ranking that the site that uses 6GB.
My thinking is that alexa doesn't just involve bw consumption, but I'm unsure of what else affects it. Can anybody help explain?
Alexa rankings mean nothing, and you can't use it as a gauge of bandwidth consumption. There are many factors that can go into why one site uses more bandwidth than the other such as file sizes it serves, and the number of times the same guest requests it.
