Who at AF uses the Alexa toolbar?

I'm not so much interested in the % of the general population that uses the Alexa toolbar as much as I am the % of AF members who do...The reason I ask is because our Alexa ranking is actually phenomenal considering our traffic and age. It's at 62,000 right now and still increasing...we have averaged about 20,000-30,000 or so for the last couple weeks...

I know that Alexa rankings can be influenced pretty easily if somebody who frequents a site uses the toolbar, but I don't use it...I don't know anybody who does...Just makes me think that somebody at AF uses it and visits often...We do get a fair amount of traffic, but not enough to be ranking 30,000 or so, imo...

I use Firefox, I don't use the Alexa toolbar but I do use the A9 toolbar which is similar. Not sure if Alexa counts it or not for their stats. But it's a nifty tool bar, has a little drop down menu of the Alexa stats for whichever site you're currently viewing.

I started using it a while ago, I installed it to see how far I could sway my website and the websites I visit, though there isn't a direct link. Seeing as mine just started raising towards the end of this month (now), yet I've been using the toolbar since the beginning of this month.

I use the Alexa toolbar and yes I use it to increase my Alexa rating on my sites. Of course as an added bonus, sites I visit get to share in the Slexa glory. Alexa ranking doesn't really mean anything but it sure looks good whenever your site is under 100,000.

I have been using FireFox more often recently and I also have the A9 toolbar installed on Firefox.
