when I said that I didn't really mean that I found a secret little way to cheat the system or that there is one. I don't cheat the system. All I said is that the ranks over 100.000 are very unstable. I wouldn't base my buying decision on alexa rankings, that is if ranks are over 100.000.
Here's a good example: My friend receives about twice as much traffic as I do, but doesn't rank as well as my website.
hostlead.com 155,458, 700-800 unique visitors on a normal day
pricenetwork.ca 242,717, but receives about twice as much uniques per day.
Do not ask me why. I have no idea.
FYI he does not (partially) block the alexa spider.
It is important to realize that you cannot expect the score to be around 75.000 (twice as much traffic) since there may be more/less sites in that range, and vise versa. But my friend should have a higher score, or I should have a lower one. But since I watched my traffic and rank increase I don't think that my rank is wrong.
Also if I redirect several websites to one web site then the alexa ranking of the site that is getting all the traffic from all the other web sites will go up.
So imagine you want to buy a domain on e-bay and the person tells you it has a rank of 100.000. You cannot verify that since maybe the traffic of other sites is redirected to the web site that is for sale.
A 'cheat' I heard about a while ago was a group of people who downloaded the toolbar and visited a certain web site several times per day, which boosted their site to a rank of about 200.000.
