If you own websites and use alexa toolbar to up your stats on alexa, it is the same as having a plastic ***** extension, only you know it is fake, unless somebody looks too closely.

That's what I was thinking. Their stats for sites aren't even nowhere near accurate either. So if you think a site is doing well because of a good Alexa rank... think again.

****, I'm shocked at how many people realise it is just a piece of garbage, I got an email a couple of days ago, 20 days to get 1,000 unique visitors perday was the start, now thats pretty good going I thought to myself, so I carried onto the next sentence, alexa ranking of 95,000, hmmm I thought to myself, 1,000 uniques perday and a alexa rank of 95k, I remember years ago having around 5k uniques perday and being ranked around the 160k mark on alexa, so either less people are using the internet, or, maybe alexa really is as worthless as the value your site pages are.

Alexa bases it's ranks off the amount of people that have their spyware toolbar installed.

And the toolbar doesn't send recognition to the Alexa servers about uniqueness of your IP, so you can basically have your site being refreshed 24/7 and have it still counting towards Alexa rank.
