[...] on us, now go away please, and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. However, the page’s Alexa ratings don’t lie: they shot thru the roof once those pages were indexed, and then once the pages were taken [...]

Thanks; I did not realize that paying off underground sites was another way to game Alexa.

Wanting to game Alexa (Searching.com) is different from the MFA sites, though. A spammer with throwaway domains would have nothing to gain from an inflated Alexa ranking. It would actually hurt his chances at profit by bringing attention to the sites. Also, this same traffic pattern jump can be witnessed across all of the junk domains, not just one.

Actually there are a few others doing this by way of another method… Take a look at Searching.com. on Alexa note the urls that the traiffc is really from.
what they have done is make agreements with many of the major Bittorrent websites and have them redirect traffic through them. bittorrent sites can not get good advertising but searching.com can, it ends up being a win win for both sides only problem things recently got rocky for them their largest partner torrentspy dropped out of their little ring. anyhow yo can see the affects of that on alexa and I hope someone with connecitons with google will look alittle deeper into this.

They won’t be. Did you see those sites? How would a computer know that they are spam? I myself could barely tell.

Good thinking. I do not 100% agree your opinion, but a 85% will do!
