Doesn't do much for a sites image among it's readers. It all seems a bit black hat BUT if you are trying to sell ads at the moment you gotta play the Alexa game, surely?

I took my widget off a few weeks ago, but I'm thinking about putting it back on. I've recently just gotten a blog to the 400,000 range and I'm pretty excited about it. I wonder if the widget being on there for a short length of time did anything to help the ranking.... That did open my eyes.

I think even if you make it invisible through css, it still works." That's awesome! I have been thinking about using the alexa redirect and I guess I really shouldn't. But, now I understand why people display their alexa ranking on their web pages. I'm still not sure if I'm going to show off my alexa ranking because I think it is really ugly but if you say I can hide it with css I'll have to hunt around for ways to do it. “Using the Alexa widget will increase your Alexa ranking without the need to redirect :D.
