Spoofing another site's Alexa

This is interesting:

http://www.cyberporn.com/ has figured out a way to make the Alexa for that site actually show the Alexa for http://www.freeporn.com/

Anyone know how they did that?

It's not "spoofing", you can request from their administrator to merge your site with your another site.

http://www.alexa.com/faqs/?p=198

What happened in this case is that domain has been sold to another person, hence it differs from freeporn.com.

You can falsify alexa other ways that include tricking alexa themselves.

No point though really, alexa ranking accounts for fuck all.

Yeah but if you check the other sites in linkspun you will see it doesn't happen for those, so not sure what happened here.
