		Alexa traffic does reflect a small drop in the "reach" of msn.com, reflecting that somewhat fewer distinct visitors now visit msn.com than visited MSN before introduction of the Site Finder service -- from 237,400 per million to 218,000 per million, as of September 29.

	Rank Ratings - Debunking Alexa's Internet Rater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		What Alexa most probably does is to work out a likely distribution of toolbars in the general population of Internet users.
		Alexa thus has no idea (or so goes my theory) that the spike on SeanMercer.com correlated with a meager 20 additional hits to the site.
		What I find amazing is that Alexa has opted themselves out of their own ranking system so you don't know what their rank is. Look up their site and it shows "no data." You can, however, read Comments left for Alexa.com.

		Alexa Internet is a company dedicated to “making a better internet”, but as Bytesector has found in the last 6 months, a better internet seems to be hurting people more than its helping.
		Alexa, the website, tracks every user who passes through the site on their way to another website.

		As an example of how to use the service, Alexa has built a photo search engine at http://photos.alexa.com/ that allows visitors to refine their search for photographs according to technical details such as the size of the image, the make and model of camera it was taken with, and even the aperture setting used.

		When visiting a "pure" Internet portal, you might see Netscape Netcenter in the list; however, when you visit Netcenter, you might not see that "pure" portal in the Netcenter What's Related list because several other browser and server software companies are included along with the related Internet portals.
