For starters measuring your sites traction via alexa is just bad. Your data is being extrapolated by a "n" factor which really means you could be the #1 site in a category and in reality be the #1000. Better use something like similarweb.com if your idea is to understand your relative position to your competition. That being said, your traction is relevant only when it shows a projection of "predictable" growth and depending on what your business model is will that traction be relevant or not
