I know ALEXA numbers are bogus, that's what all the internet experts I've talked to tell me. That leaves me with a big unknown. How do I reliably verify website popularity ?

Why don't you ask those same "internet experts"?
Are you an internet expert ?

That's why so many people and websites use it, because it is bogus.
I read these links on Alexa which says it's bogus

I asked guys in the IT department I work at, and asked friends who are engineering and comp sci majors. They all said ALEXA is bogus. I reccommend to google for "Alexa Bogus" for a long list of links on this subject.
So what figures can you rely on ? Which stats site has verifiable and accurate web stats ?
Dee plane, dee plane, dee plane...
Alexa is Fantasy Island.
Get the backbone gateway stats from the federal gateways such as FIX-West, MAE-East, etc.
By the profit it produces for others?
