I have created a new website www.euro-names.com  each day I monitor
its rankings in Alexa ( I know that Alexa uses its own customers
activity to rank its sites etc)  Over the last few days my sites rank
has moved upwards from 1m + to 100,000 however looking at the sites
visitor counter very few if any new visitors appear to been to the
page - the hit counter has gone from 30 to 41 some of which will be my
own vists.  Also the hosting companies site logs show very little
"traffic".  How can the hit counter and web logs be consistent with
the Alexa data?

I would use it just as a guide, rather than an accurate indication of
traffic. One of my sites has extremely consistent traffic, with less
than 10% fluctuation per week - yet at Alexa it varies from 85,000 to
35,000, up and down like a yo-yo.
