For me, I found it mentioned in academic articles. It's probably reliable. On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 2:52 AM, Jarosław Kopeć <jaroslaw.kopec@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
This is my first e-mail. It's great that there is such a list. I will probably using it extensively in next couple of months ;)
My question relating alexa.com is -- how reliable is this? Anyone used it in a scientific paper as an authoritative source?

I'm wondering where other researchers go to find measures of particular websites' traffic as well as web traffic rankings for certain categories (i.e. news, etc)? Any sites that keep good historical records of this data?
I'm also wondering if anyone knows of an article or other source that offers a good overview for thinking about the complexities of measuring and ranking web traffic and speaks to the pros and cons of different techniques? I'm writing about from a humanistic background with a desire to touch upon rankings data in a considered way.
