in the meantime Alexa shows that they don't have traffic at all Traffic Details for: millisong.com/

is it Baidu spider, attacking millisong with legions of clicks?

Hi skyforger

I think it's only fair to point out that Alexa rankings are based on site visits by people with the Alexa Toolbar installed on their computer, which is a pretty small proportion of web users - many people regard it as spyware. Alexa themselves admit that for low traffic sites the results are pretty meaningless; they are quite easy to manipulate too, so they shouldn't be taken too seriously.

But then you know all that

Hi gm,

for sure, there's small percentage of surfers with alexa toolbar installed, but alexa system does extrapolate click data and provide quite accurate results. we've tested a lot of different feeders and compared their "inner" click counters with alexa graphics, and i must say - both results are quite the same.
