Linklists divebombing on Alexa?

Remember too that Alexa is dependant on people installing their toolbar, but that toolbar is noted and removed by most adware / spyware programs... so their sample space is fairly small - a single Alexa visit per day might shift your results all over the place.

Alexa isn't accurate on an individual case basis, but might be considered useful if you look at a large sample and compare it relatively.
