RE: [motm] Thiis blew me away!
How this works is they get people to install the"alexa toolbar" which gives them extr info about sites theyare visiting, and they track who goes where.  They thenextrapolate from their users the traffic to websites, and come up witha ranking.

I just read recently that Alexa only works in IE in Windows. Noother browser, no other platform. That leaves out a few potentialguinea pigs.
