I think the percentage of surfers currently using the Alexa bar is quite small. Which makes it quite sensitive to additional users. And as webmasters tend to visit their own sites on almost a daily basis, be it to use admin, check alterations or message boards; then it will have a positive effect on an Alexa ranking.

Remember when www.scroogle.com/ took a massive jump in traffic according to Alexa (7,500%) ? This was pretty much 95% webmasters visiting Scroogle, and those webmasters were more likely to have Alexa installed.
