That's what DamageX does, he grows sites. Yes, it would have been fed traffic to start with, but he when he hands over sites the feed has stopped.

Alexa is also a pretty inaccurate way of determining a sites stability. Those see-saws are more likely to be the result of statistical sampling anomalies, not the site's actual traffic ramping sharply up and down. Try any other large site and you'll probably see a similar effect. (eg bunnyteens went +100% then -50% in a few days... do you really think his traffic doubled in that time?)
