Dan - I guess my issue is that advertisers even attribute any substance to Alexa rankings in the first place. However, you are exactly right about PPP as a marketplace, they simply offer Alexa information and the advertiser chooses to heed or ignore. I will have to edit my post to make that clear. Thanks for pointing that out :). Madhur – thanks for sounding off!

Since Alexa gives preference to users who use the toolbar the Alexa stats are quite misleading . He is damn right .
