I think it was just an honest mistake. They accidentally counted all the hits on www.FredThompsonForums.com :) :)

I didn't want to say anything but did you notice that a lot of his traffic comes from Romneys website?

http://www.incisivemedia.com/ owns "ClickZ" I think. Might be more info on who they really are there. There's some corporate affiliations and talk of a merger on their newspage. I don't feel like digging any further but if someone is curious maybe you can find out.

I am an SEO Expert and i can tell ya one fact about alexa. Alexa rankings are based only on users who have the alexa toobar installed period!

Alexa gained popularity and spread thier toolbar by way of spyware !
