The thing is though, I don't have Alexa installed on my pc :( ...the requests are coming from a remote IP.

Yes, Alex powers the "What's Related" bar that can be installed onto IE and comes with Netscape. So anyone browsing a similar site to Pauls, a request for Paul's site would go out by alexa to link it up.
