What is wrong with Alexa and Feed Counts

Is it just me or others also seeing this that all the big blogs with huge number of feed readers are losing heavy alexa ranks ? I mean here are the alexa ranks of some of the sites -

Feed Readers       Alexa Rank
doshdosh -   21061                  63589
seobook -      ????                      24495
seomoz -      32000                  29495

As you can see, the alexa rank of these sites were supposed to be in 4 figures (considering they were 1 year back) but now all of them are down by 5x. Infact doshdosh’s alexa rank is equal to this blog!

People already used to raise finger on Alexa’s credibility and now it looks things have gone even worst. It seems alexa is not counting traffic from social media and feed readers which is causing such weird alexa ranking for all the big sites with high feed count. As compared to Alexa, I am seeing compete giving far better accurate  traffic stats so may be its good time people start using them.
