    This guy/gal has created a blog called "ALEXA SUCKS" his aim is to get the site into the movers and shakers top 3 and thus get the words "Alexa sucks" on the Alexa.com main page :p

    haha,

    I don't know the exact criteria for getting into the top 3 in the movers & shakers list, but I am sure it can be done.

    Will be amusing to see "Alexa sucks" on the Alexa homepage that's for sure.

    Next he can try and get "Google PR is not important" onto google.com :p

    Hmm... one example of alexa.com

    Lordi won eurovision song contest, their site went to top10 on alexa 'movers and shakers' list. For me, these stats looked quite realistic.

    So... I would say that Alexa might not suck. Maybe it's the frustrated webmasters who suck? :p

    I bet this thread is so called "viral marketing".

    I partially agree.

    I believe that Alexa is a useful tool. But I agree with this point:

    Nope, I'd rather chose Google bombing Google for the keyword "broken"

    Google bombing is always a laugh. But its novelty has worn off for many people:(
