Social networks. Ahead of the whole planet

On March 7, when all civilians of Russia congratulated their female colleagues on the “coming”, foreign colleagues from Compete pored over the attendance report on social networks of the bourgeois.
So, the rating of the most visited social networks was made - TOP 20.

The following picture (figures for February 2008, growth for the period February 2007 - February 2008).

social networks TOP-20
')
The picture is quite expected ... due to the elimination of the “surprising” increase in Fubar site traffic of 3.272.217% (over 12 months) (first online bar social network).
Simple arithmetic calculations show that the network should have grown from a level of 202 visits to 6,609,878 visits - really? !!!

Position 14 is the most talked about online. There is an opinion that the network used “fake traffic using pops bought from spyware dealer Adon” to deceive the statistics of Alexa and Compete, and, as you can see, Fubar did it (of course, I can not assert this).

The question for the experts is "how to deceive the statistics", what method was used, if it was of course ?.
