Alexa rankings aren't going to be 100% accurate. In fact, the Alexa rankings are based off of every person that has the Alexa toolbar installed in their web browser. The Alexa toolbar keeps track of the websites you visit and sends that data to Alexa to generate traffic rankings for every website on the internet.

That means the Alexa traffic rankings are based on a very small sample size compared to the total number of people that use the internet. I would be willing to bet the traffic rankings are based on less than 1% of the total number of people that use the internet.
