How accurate do you think Alexa.com is with its stats and rankings.

I find it hard to belive it is accurate at all.

What are your thoughts?

If Greenguyandjim put a link on the board to Alexa or somehow encouraged more users to install the Alexa toolbar this site would move up the rankings without any extra traffic..

Here is a few suggestions of easy ways people use to "Cheat Alexa"

It's ok as a guide to find big sites in your market but I wouldn't assume a site ranked 25,000 is any bigger than a site ranked 100,000 for example.
