Sorry, "Alexa Rank" is one of the most ridiculous measures EVER. It's also a favorite of penny stock scamsters everywhere - to the point that any penny stock that starts talking about its "Alexa Rank" is automatically assumed to be the lowest form of scam.

I can understand why anyone stuck holding this failed P&D garbage would want to sit at home and hit the "refresh" button every few minutes (after all, half of all people who visit the site only look at ONE page) but there are many easier ways to game the stats.

Did you know that some unscrupulous people will even use bots to automatically "ping" the website, increasing the supposed traffic? Shocking! Here's one (of MANY) examples:

Did you know that checking the "Alexa Rank" itself increases the Alexa Rank? LLOLLOL no wonder it's gone up in the past few days, as desperate people who bought into the embarrassing P&D check the status!!

For an understanding of how silly these measurements are, I suggest people check out this, among other, sites:

Here's a link to the search results for "Boost Alexa Stats." Obviously, it's not exactly a secret.

I prefer to use old fashioned statistics, like.. profitability, trust in Management, audited accounts... you know... TRUTH?
