I'm not sure where this goes, but this is close. I've noticed for a long time that one of my sites, www.reallybored.net is actually tracking some university in Alexa's rankings. See here: http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=http://www.reallybored.net I want to report it so I can actually track my stats, but my question is, is there any benefit to having a phantom 4,419 ranking? Should I just leave it alone? I searched all over Google but couldn't find anything this big, only people complaining about popup calcs and Alexa tracking small pages. Thanks for any insight
Yes, but this domain has been hosted at at least 3 different servers over the years. I bought it from someone who had purchased the domain a few months earlier, etc. From what I can tell, it's always been like this.
Yeah, me either. I don't get any benefit from this error as far as I can tell, but there might be something now or in the future that would help or hurt me if I leave it alone. I wanted to see if anyone has seen this or has had it happen to them
I've had this problem before. Quite some time ago mind. If I remember correctly I had to go through the process of adding the site again to Alexa. ie creating the special file with site details, uploading it to the server. Seem to remember doing something so it grabbed a new screenshot as well. Anyway, it took a while for it to update but eventually sorted itself out. As to whether it is of any benefit having better stats than you actually have - I don't think so.
They've had the wrong site for our website for years and we tried emailing them dozens of times, but noone ever got back to us. We even notified the other site they show instead of ours.
