Default I thought Alexa was crazy before... this is just odd

I was just checking my alexa data and noticed they added a few more sections which include (for my site):
Bankrollboost.com users come from these countries:
Bankrollboost.com traffic rank in other countries:

The strangest thing I noticed was that it said 31% of my users come from India? I have analytics installed and I check it on a regular basis and the most I ever get from India is maybe 1 or 2 people per day. Somehow these 2 people have driven my Alexa ranking to 19,865 for India.

I have never put much faith in Alexa, and this has only added to my feelings of their awful results. It would be a really great tool, if only it were accurate.

The numbers are a joke.

What's wrong with this picture:

Ranking for United States
Pokerstars 3869
Pokeraffiliateworld 3969
Pokernews.com 6497

Um, no.

Really alot of luck involved in alexa ranking, it is really only based on people who have the alexa toolbar installed I think so it depends on your site's audience.

For instance Graham the guys who redid you site could have visited it hundreds of times checking errors or whatever and had the toolbar installed, which would account for your Indian ranking.

Yes Alexa don't work well : Onlinexcasinos.com pass from one popularity of 250 000 to one of 750 000 when the visitators are the same of number .......

http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...nexcasinos.com

I think that have sense to see alexa for the website that have one popularity < 100 000

Maybe Kundan (Alance) is so proud of his work he checks it out every few seconds and just goes, "Look, Look at that....That's my design"

You never know...lol
