Alexa (User / Country ) statistics ->crap?
 
Do you use these at all to make decisions ? For example the country users come from at the bottom of this page. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/tr...etails/cnn.com

I've noticed this before but blew it off. those stats are wack?!?. I have a site where most of the traffic comes from U.S. but the user/country stats on alexa say 95%=other 5%=egypt ?

not buying traffic, trading, anything on the site. mostly search US search engine ...
anybody else notice things like this?
:Oh crapWTF ? oh well.
