Calacanis has published instructions on how to game Alexa ratings with as little as three machines. It seems to be easy enough to do, which is the reason why I abandoned Alexa rankings.Â
The world needs a service which can deliver accurate traffic rankings and statistics. Not something based on installing a browser plug-in, but rather a tool that accurately ranks sites. Seems like it ought to be something that Google should do.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.

Have you looked at Google Analytics?
Yup. Accurate traffic analytics, but no rankings.
