Believe me I have no intention of getting into the Alexa toolbar debate except to say that like most other stats reporting, its a barometre or relative gauge...

But it sucks that SO many believe in it and that all sites I know of (including ours grr) have literally lost half their Alexa "value" - so a site that had a 35,000 rating now has, from one day to the next, a 75,000th rating... geeze...
