Every story he writes uses Alexa for stats Reference.

**** And I'm sure you know Matt Drudge, his ad people make him $4,000 a day on 1 ad and they use alexa rating as one of their key selling points.

ADVERTISING PAYS

As a business, The Drudge Report's revenues are derived solely from advertising, which is sold by Intermarkets, an Oakton, Va. agency that also sells Internet ads for The Chicago Sun-Times, The Village Voice, NewsMax, Human Events and others on its website.

According to the rates posted on www.intermarkets.net advertisers are charged $3 per thousand impressions for banner ads, or $4,400 a day (discounted to $29,000 a week). The banner ads are rotated, so visitors may see one for AT&T Wireless, The New York Times or another client each time they visit the site.

On a typical day in August, Drudge's site had nearly 6.5 million visitors, and it had 163 million in the preceding 31 days. The Internet traffic site Alexa.com ranked Drudgereport.com 215th in current Web traffic.

After Intermarkets takes its commission, the ad revenue is almost pure profit for Drudge, who says he shares a percentage of his profits with Breitbart. The overhead is minimal: $4,000 a month for Web-server costs plus about $20 a month for Internet service.

And that's about it, according to Drudge, since he works from his home.

lol, you're a fucking moron. What does these legit companies looking at alexa have to do with your hitbot boosting your alexa ratings and CHEATING THE FUCK OUT OF anyone advertising on your site on a CPM deal??

It's one thing to use a hitbot to a site that has no advertisers cause you think it will help your SE rankings (it doesn't, you're a moron) but it's called STEALING when you use a hitbot to charge your advertisers for fake impressions.
