Default How does Alexa work?

Does Alexa still uses the data from the autoinstalled Alexa program in winxp or does it only take data from the Alexa toolbar?

From what I understand, it takes the data from all the installed Alexa toolbars. And now for a great tip to boosting your Alexa ranking that I learned from Yaro Starak:

At the bottom of my blog's sidebar, I've installed an Alexa plugin which keeps track of my Alexa Rank. Since installing the plugin, my Alexa rank has improved by about 30% One probable explanation is that getting continual requests from my domain b/c of the plugin helps to improve my raking. It takes a second to install and is definitely worth it.

Default Has anyone heard of AGLOCO?

I'd read some stuff about and decided to join. I wrote a post about it on my site. The idea is to get paid for surfing the web, and for other people you refer. I am wondering if anyone else knows much about it, and if you expect it to really be worthwhile.

Can you explain what that has to do with Alexa?

That was a mistake. I thought I was in a new thread. My bad.
