They do though  marketers are having a hard to time figure out the algorithm they are using, it differs from the SE's computation. It is a headache how to rank in alexa, even if you have a high one on Google.

Alexa ranking is based on the number of users that have Alexa traffic estimator installed on their PC generally with Google Toolbar. What you see on Alexa is not the exact data it is only an estimation.

Alexa traffic stats are not real. If you install Alexa toolbar on your system and visit your website few times in a day, your ranking will come up. Alexa traffic rank is just count of hits from visitors with Alexa toolbar... its not real traffic.

Alexa ranking is not accurate. It is just estimated of how many visitors come to your website. It does not guarantee any true information. It is just an estimation as I've stated.

Hi,
If you are having doubt on it, go for Google Analytic. This will give you accurate information regarding the traffic to your site.
