Something odd at Alexa...

    Hi guys,

    I saw a site today at Alexa (maybe there were more) for which the following was shown:
    3 mos. Avg. - around 5 000 000
    3 mos. Change - a drop of about 6 000 000

    It's obviously not possible... Is this a known bug and has somebody else seen it?

    Welkin: Just a word of advice, don't watch Alexa to hard.

    I have run extremely successful websites that don't get high rankings via Alexa.

    The system in itself is extremely exploitable and for this reason it's worth ranks about 3/10 to "real" surfers.
    *Based on a poll of over 65,000 members. Average Rating was 3/10. User demo was 25-35 males and females.
