Analyzing the Webmaster Skew of Alexa Data
Just saw this anlaysis of the webmaster skew of Alexa's data. Not exactly a comprehensive study, but apparently Peter is a very smart guy and I think he makes a very valid point--you can't put too much stock in Alexa numbers because of the way they gather their data.
Unfortunately, until something better comes along, I think people will continue to look at Alexa data as some kind of measure, even though it kind of sucks. At least take the Alexa numbers with a grain (or two) of salt.
