As I said, you can fake a good one, but you cannot fake a bad one. Sites that are geared towards marketing have much better than average Alexa scores. Like any tool, it has it's issues and it's how you use it and if you understand the weaknesses that make it worth using.

Actually, no! The only thing that has any value to it is economic performance. Partner listings and traffic is irrelevant. A man last month wanted to sell his job site to me with over 5000 resumes on it. It wasn't worth it because there were no job listings. You could have a million link partners set up and half of them checking in daily. However, if your site doesn't sell links, nothing else matters. I will be happy to see if anyone else has any real success, and I'm not just talking about whether it makes gas money.
