    I would like to add a nice feature to a toolbar, and i want to put the alexa near it... can somebody tell me, how i can ping the data from alexa, so it will also act as an alexa toolbar and it will send back to alexa the traffic usage.

    I allready have an toolbar on my computer, and it's sending back to alexa

    You can create your own Alexa toolbar with those features from inside your Alexa or Amazon's affiliate account.

    Amazon lets you request the Alexa rankings, not sure how to send traffic data to Alexa, maybe check out the source code of 'Search Status' for Firefox, I think they do what you're after.

    Signup for an Alexa/Amazon API account and you'll have access to all of this.
