I have owned lotousa.com for about month and it's Alexa ACTUALLY went up since I owned it, yet there is no traffic? ( well not close to what it should be ) 200 uniques. I have it parked on Sedo, could this be a factor or is Alexa's information always this inaccurate?
1) fake alexa rank could have been achieved by the previous owner by redirecting the domain to a high-traffic site 2) alexa rank can be dis-proportionally high for the site traffic IF 100% of the visitors have Alexa toolbar installed (for example if they all internet marketers or they involved in some alexa rank exchange program meant to inflate alexa rank for participating site)
