Alexa - weird domain switch

    Hey everyone,

    Any Alexa buffs here? (Please, no "Alexa is crap" and "Alexa rank is useless" responses -- I am already in the know!). I need to understand something specific.

    When I enter this domain in Alexa:
    burkeindustrialcoatings.com
    what gets displayed is info for
    burke-ind-coatings.com

    (the latter is not even a real website).

    What's up with that? Could someone help me interpret this?

    Thanks!

    Thank you. These are not my domains but what exactly is a fake domain? A domain is a domain is a domain.

    burkeindustrialcoatings.com is a legitimate industrial website, and burke-ind-coatings.com is indeed some kind of bullshit, not a real site. Both are in the US, but the hosting and DNS info as well as whois results are completely different.
