I have the botton on one of my sites for months now, I get on average 100 visitors a day and I have never seen a "nice little jump"....

The traffic is increasing (this I can see in my stats anyhow), the figure is dropping. I’m going to try another little trick that I read about on Graywolf’s SEO Blog whereby I add the traffic rank button to this site and see if my figure drops any lower. Of course the figure is only currently accurate for the number of users with the Alexa toolbar, but I’m presuming that by having an actual image on the site it will hit Alexa for every visitor. It’s currently around 142,000 so lets see if I can get it into 5 figures I’ll be adding a new side column to take this along with some adsense. Now if only I could work out how Site Point do their snazzy ‘hide nav’ trick, then anyone who doesn’t want the ads could just hide them [...]

They also show your traffic and CTR, so that's probably just an extra. But, personally I probably won't do this unless I informed my visitors this is another way they could be tracked.

I'm not saying you should do it everywhere, but testing is good, provided you know how to take the desired result and do something for your own benefit with it.

But I'm game, I will see if things change, current Alexa rank 47k on seobuzzbox.com, lower better? Hmm, ok...

Who do you think is going to do better?
