Unlike Alexa, the thing with Google is that you can skim through some of
the results and see if a lot of them are the result of spamming or
googlebombing. If so, you can often refine your search to exclude such
pages. I use Google a lot in getting an idea of how notable the subject
of a new article is, because I can see what kinds of sites mention it.
The other difference being that, although Alexa and Google are probably
each as vulnerable to being gamed, Google has a substantially larger
number of users and a substantially better database (speaking
personally, Googlebot is my website's top robot visitor whereas A9/Alexa
doesn't even register).
