There appears to be a disconnect with reality. Please observe this disconnect by reading the mock discussion I've provided below. I hope this helps.

*Again, this is a mock conversation..

Alexa.com: Global rankings outside of 100,000 are not valid.

Please allow us to define Validity: The degree to which a tool measures what it's supposed to measure. In this case not much if at all.

Investor: Ah, but I'm convinced that the Rankolia and/or Alexa ranking means Ultraflix [insert speculative claims here]. Weee.

Alexa.com: We're trying to tell you that since Ultraflix.com is globally ranked at 297K, there is little to no statistical significance between our invalid rank and the popularity of Ultraflix.com.

Global rankings outside of 100,000 are not valid.

Investor: Although the company, Alexa, whose statistical ranking I am citing says the number is not significant, I will continue to post [insert speculative invalid claims] regardless of the facts.

Alexa.com: We're sorry, have we been confusing? Is there another way we can explain this to you to help you understand?

Back to reality:

Email from Alexa.com:

Hello,

We have limited data for all sites ranked outside of the top 100,000 GLOBAL sites. This means the ranks, both global and country, for those sites will tend to fluctuate often.

Hope this information helped. If you have any additional questions or concerns as you use our site, please let us know.

Cheers,

Once again...

Here's WHY THE Ultraflix.com Ranking IS MEANINGLESS:

Quote:
"Alexa does actually state on their website that ‘traffic rankings of 100,000 and above should be regarded as [very?] rough estimates‘ and that conversely ‘the closer a site gets to #1, the more accurate traffic rankings become‘. Anything higher than this 100,000 waypoint and everyone I’ve ever spoken to on the subject... ... seems to pretty much laugh it off as a metric that can, nine times out of ten, be almost completely ignored."

In alexa.com's own words:

Quote:
"There are limits to statistics based on the data available. Sites with relatively low measured traffic [ultraflix.com] will not be accurately ranked by Alexa. We do not receive enough data from our sources to make rankings beyond 100,000 statistically meaningful. (However, on the flip side of that, the closer a site gets to #1, the more reliable its rank.) This means that, for example, the difference in traffic between a site ranked 1,000,000 and a site ranked 2,000,000 has low statistical significance. Sites ranked 100,000+ [ultraflix.com] may be subject to large ranking swings due to the scarcity of data for those sites. It is not unusual for such sites to decline to “No data” Traffic Ranks, or to improve suddenly."
