I especially stopped paying attention to Alexa when my site's rank starting fluctuating all over the place with no change in visitor count, pages hit or time spent. According to a Google Page Rank bookmarklet I keep tucked away in my bookmarks toolbar, my old personal blog still has a PR5 but the majority pages hit are old posts about Firefox and WordPress (written over a year old). very few hits on anything else. So much for realistic picture of how things are site-wise.
