Might have been due to some visitors with the Alexa toolbar on their browser. Congrats on the improvement :) LOL, Sean, I have never noticed a 10 million Alexa rank before this, so that was one huge jump for your gardening blog.

Your experience corroborates with mine (experienced the same thing as you, too). I'm a bit odd in the sense I don't install toolbars on my browser, save for StumbleUpon, and a few others. I'm a firm believer though, that Alexa favors sites with a lot of Asian traffic, and tech sites. Also, using the toolbar on your browser should definitely help in your Alexa ranking. The only way it can be more accurate, is if hundreds of millions of people use the toolbar, not just the millions that do now. A few million is but a drop in the ocean, and inaccurate for more accurate sampling. Thanks for sharing! Hi Sean,
