Alexa.com provides following information for two sites at the same time with the same country:Site A: tarafdari.com (Alexa Link) 1. Global Rank: 8523 2. Country Rank: 157 3. Percentage Of Visitors from that Country: 83.2% 4. Daily Page-views Per Visitor: 13.00 5. Bounce Rate: 13.80%Site B: 2iranfilm.com (Alexa Link) 1. Global Rank: 15043 2. Country Rank: 125 3. Percentage Of Visitors from that Country: 83.2% 4. Daily Page-views Per Visitor: 7.09 5. Bounce Rate: 23.70%While All metrics of site A look better than site B, the ranking seems totally wrong. Also site A has always been better than site B in global rank. Any explanations for this contradiction?
How is it possible to have worse global Alexa rank and better country Alexa rank?

That's simply a bug in Alexa ranking which may have happened in short period of time. While both site A and site B have same percentage of visitors from a specific country, the site with better Global Rank would have also better Local Rank.Data we have: Site A (GlobalRank: 8523) has more visitors than site B (GlobalRank: 15043).Let's suppose Site A has 60.000 visitors per day. In this case site B must have less visitors because of worse Global Rank. My hypothesis is that site B has 40.000 visitors per day.Site A Visitors: 83.2% of site A visitors (60.000) are from Iran, so hypothetically it has 49.920 visitors from Iran.Site B Visitors: 83.2% of site B visitors (40.000 users) are from Iran, so hypothetically it has 33.280 visitors from Iran.Conclusion: Site A must have better Local Rank than Site B. After posting a ticket for Alexa, the ranking was corrected.
