    I noticed today a new feature on Alexa.com
    I was very shocked. Why?

    Here is answer/ Please look at this page
    http://www.alexa.com/data/details?url=ediscountshopping.com

    Ediscountshopping.com
    Address Unlisted

    Employees: 25 - 100
    Ownership: Privately Held
    Revenue: $1 - 10M
    Ticker: (No Data)

    and there is 1 Contacts at Karl S Apple Market.

    Maybe someone could explain this info... I didn't enter this information.

    I just noticed it on mine as well. Strange, it looks like the same info. It appears to be coming from jigsaw dot com and I don't have a clue how or why it's there.

    I checked some domains info and noticed 2 type of contacts: Karl S Apple Market and United Machine & Too.
    These info are visible only for global domains (.com, .net, etc.)

    Same for my site, Karl S Apple Market/Jigsaw combo again, I suppose it could be a tactic by Jigsaw to get people register the true company/contact details on their website to avoid this but if so it is very underhand...

    I have the same info on my Alexa rank. And yes I agree that it does seem like an underhanded tactic.
    My site has nothing to do (nor do I want my site associated) with "Karl S Apple Market".
    So I don't know why Alexa has decided to display them as a business contact of mine.

    This is what needs to be done I think.

    Cheers
    James

    They have removed all the extra info from mine as well. I did not send them an email... maybe it was a glitch at alexa!?!

    Cheers

    But after I refreshed the pages, It doesnt appear there again
