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?)

Let's compare it to bunnyteens:
Now look at the *relative* stability. Notice a difference? Ofcourse you do.
Obviously, alexa is grossly inaccurate. However, in this case it is confirming something that is already quite obvious: the site (still) needs feeder traffic to stay at it's current traffic level.
There's nothing wrong with raising sites on feeder traffic, getting them somewhat stable and then selling them, but in this case it really looks like all traffic could be gone in a day or two
Plus, if he created this site with the specific intent of selling it, it's kinda odd that he doesn't know what the site makes, and has set up the site in a way that it couldn't even be known.
