I'm not the biggest fan of PageRank (if thats what you mean by Google rank) but if I had to choose it would be Google's.

Many don't believe this comment, but if you access real statistics from more than one site you will quickly agree, Alexa numbers are crap.

As per me If my site is ranking well in google and It is being visited, I am satisfied. Don't bother for alexa rank. I do not heared about google traffic rank. Are you talking about google analytics? (it gives total no of visits not traffic rank).
Also I am not aware about any other tool or site which gives traffic ranking other than alexa. Are you? Please update me.

Regards
John

the only way to get alexa to show better results is to put the traffic rank icon on your site... wrap it in a tag like if you want to hide it

<div style="display:none"> code here </div>

and anyway alexa and pagerank arnt even comparable as one is the likley hood a viewer will find your site (pagerank) and the other is a count of how many people that visited your site.

also i normally get to rank 400k+ just by developing a website so thats a good indentation of how silly the stats are... pagerank is not much better ether thanks to text link brokers... the insurence salesman of the internet....

The problem is, Alexa is where marketing companies like adbrite look when pricing links on your site. Adtegrity and Valueclick use it as well, as a method of choosing whether or not to be accepted as a publisher.

I take a look at both of the ratings because i believe that they both count sometimes.

I prefer the Google rank overal.
