You can install the Alexa bar yourself and start hitting your sites and your ranking will improve, get a few friends and your off to making yourself think you had growth.

Or you could just use alexa as a guide and compare it with
www.quantcast.com or
www.compete.com or plenty of other metrics websites and get a general idea...From what I've noticed, if you've high in alexa, you're high across the boards..Same if you're low...So if someone spammed asian boards just for an alexa rank, it would be noticed as soon as you checked quantcast...
I personally can't see anybody of significance taking the time out to spam asian sites just for an alexa ranking, whose only true value is for bragging rites and has NO monetary value unless you want to either sell the site or sell advertising on the site.
