Should I claim my site on alexa.com?  What do I need to know about Alexa?

Claiming a site on Alexa isn't a bad thing. I'm not too sure about paying for their certified metrics though. But if you claim your site then there are a few small sections you can update to make it a bit more visitor friendly instead of just a bland listing. I use it to keep a quick tab on global traffic rankings but its not something I find that I'm really using on a regular basis or digging deep into. Some other here may have a different opinion of Alexa. I'd assume those sites in the 100k and better range would be more likely to want to use the certified metrics.
