		<description>I&#039;m not surprised that an increased number of websites being ranked would lower everyone else&#039;s numbers. I&#039;m just surprised it happened so fast.</description>

		<description>Ye, I&#039;m quiet surprised at how quickly the Alexa toolbar has been accepted... very interesting - the question is, how long before popular culture has a fit around &quot;privacy&quot;
